Three singers of opera, and a musician close to the conductor Charles Dutoit of sexual assault in the United States, according to interviews conducted with victims by the Associated Press (AP).

They criticise in particular to the one who has led the Montreal symphony Orchestra for 25 years to have learned physically, to have put his tongue in their mouth and be glued to them.

These events would have occurred from 1985 to 2010, while the man from switzerland was a guest of american orchestras.

“He has me pressed against a wall, took my hand against his pants and pushed his tongue in my throat”, told the AP the mezzo-soprano to the pension Paula Rasmussen, regarding an assault that occurred in a locker room of the Los Angeles opera in September 1991.

Dutoit is the chief conductor and the artistic director of the royal philharmonic Orchestra in London.
