French prosecutors have dropped an investigation into claims that the film mogul Luc Besson raped his former girlfriend, his lawyers said on Monday.

 

But the Paris prosecutor’s office said a new preliminary investigation was launched on 21 February after a different, unnamed woman reported an allegation of sexual assault.

 

Prosecutors dropped the rape investigation into allegations by the actor Sand Van Roy who told police in May that she had been repeatedly raped by Besson, 59, during an on-off relationship.
