Malagasy Artist Tsew the Kid Under Investigation for Rape and Sexual Violence in France
Malagasy artist Tsew the Kid, whose real name is Tsiry Ralaiarisedy, is under investigation in France following multiple accusations of sexual violence. The Malagasy singer, who resides in France, has been the subject of an inquiry since January involving three rape accusations and an alleged sexual assault against a fourth woman. According to details reported in this case, the first complainant claims she was raped by the artist in 2020. A second woman accuses him of inserting an object into her buttocks in December 2023. A third complainant states she was raped in August 2024. A fourth woman also filed a complaint for sexual violence, claiming she was strangled twice. The psychological consequences of these alleged acts reportedly forced her to interrupt her professional activities for 30 days due to post-traumatic stress disorder. Questioned by investigators during the proceedings, Tsiry Ralaiarisedy contested the accusations against him. According to his account, all acts mentioned by the complainants were consensual. At this stage, the artist remains presumed innocent, with the investigation ongoing to clarify the facts and determine any potential responsibilities.
