Even with the statute of limitations in France having expired, Otis wants to help other victims come forward.
The former American supermodel and movie star Carré Otis filed a complaint Friday (5) at a Paris court against the former European head of Elite Model agency, Gérald Marie.
Otis alleges that Marie raped and trafficked her, starting in the 1980’s, in a move designed to encourage other potential victims to come forward.
Otis is known by many as the star of the torrid 1989 Zalman King movie Wild Orchid, in which she co-starred with Mickey Rourke and Jacqueline Bisset.

Associated Press reported:
“Marie has denied the allegations and cannot be prosecuted over Otis’ case because of France’s statute of limitations. But the complaint could allow other women, whether their cases are time-barred or not, to join the proceedings, Otis’ lawyer, Mathias Darmon, said in a statement to The Associated Press.”
The Associated Press is reporting that the complaint alleges ‘rape of a minor’ and ‘human trafficking’.
“Sent to Paris in 1986 by Elite Model agency, Otis, who was then 17, was housed in Marie’s apartment, “mistakenly believing that he wanted to support her modeling career,” according to the complaint. ‘While living in the apartment, she alleges that she was raped on multiple occasions by the accused, who subsequently arranged for her to be provided to other wealthy men across Europe’.”

The case bears striking similarities with the allegations against alleged serial rapist Jean-Luc Brunel, a famous French modeling agent tied to Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his cell in the Paris La Santé prison.
“Otis was never paid for her modeling work, the complaint said. ‘The goal is to give other victims the opportunity to find the courage to join our complaint’, Darmon said. ‘We are opening the door for all those affected by this internationally significant case to come forward and have their voices heard’.
French broadcaster France Info reported Friday that Otis said she wanted to ‘denounce an entire system of sexual abuse of models that lasted for years in the fashion industry’, drawing parallels to the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein case.”
