Several victims accusing Norman Tavo of rape and corruption have already been questioned by the courts.
While not as popular with young people today, Norman Tavo was a first-generation YouTube star who grew up online. He is one of the first French YouTubers to break through with Squeezie, Cyprien, Mister V, Antoine Daniel, Natoo and more. Norman Makes Video first launched on Dailymotion, as did many others. Then he migrated to YouTube, where he became very popular.
In 2018, Norman Tavo, who was then presumed innocent, was accused of various facts. After a tweet from Squeezie condemning the actions of some YouTubers without giving names, the hashtag #BalanceTonYoutubeur has become very popular. Here is how several teenage girls and young women shared their testimonies. One of them, Maggie Desmarais, who was 16 at the time of the incident, later testified openly in a video on the Urbania website. She described her relationship with Norman Tavo as “a sick little game of emotional attachment. I was young, I admired him, I easily fell into the trap. About thirty young women with similar indications then contacted Maggie Desmarais.
Potential victims have already been questioned by the courts. Two of them may have been victims of rape when they were minors. As for Maggie Desmarais from Quebec, she was called to France by the Family Protection Brigade. She is to meet Norman today.
