Following his December 2022 release from police custody, the sexual assault investigation into French YouTuber Norman Thavaud was closed by prosecutors in October 2023 due to insufficient evidence. After a two-year hiatus, Thavaud returned to social media in 2024 to address the case and resume posting content. Detailed information on the case, including the initial 2022 arrest and the 2023 dismissal, is available through reports from Inquirer.net, Newsweek, and local media like Le Parisien .
