- Former supermodel Carré Otis filed a complaint in Paris accusing former Elite executive Gérald Marie of raping and trafficking her when she was 17, and says she hopes to encourage other victims to come forward.
- Marie, who led Elite in Europe, denies the allegations and cannot be prosecuted for Otis’ case due to France’s statute of limitations, but the complaint could allow other women to join the proceedings.
- Otis frames the move as exposing a systemic pattern of abuse in the fashion industry, drawing parallels to wider sex‑abuse reckonings.
