Former Supermodel Carre Otis Files Complaint Against Gerald Marie Alleging Rape, Trafficking

Article excerpt

Former supermodel Carré Otis filed a formal complaint Friday at a Paris court accusing Gérald Marie, the former European head of Elite Model agency, of rape and trafficking. Her lawyer framed the legal action as an attempt to embolden other potential victims to come forward. The complaint marks a significant step in what appears to be a broader reckoning within the modeling industry over workplace abuse and exploitation by powerful figures in positions to control models' careers and access.
