French TV news presenter faces multiple allegations of sexual offences

Twenty women have accused Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, also known as PPDA, of sexual harassment and abuse

Twenty women have come forward to openly accuse one of France's best-known television news presenters of sexual harassment and abuse - including rape - following an investigation by French journalists.

Patrick Poivre d'Arvor - known as PPDA - has faced a number of accusations that emerged after a writer first went to police to accuse him of rape, in February last year. The investigation was later dropped.
