and i told him no, and there was absolutely nothing i could do, he had me pinned to the chair. lisa s assault wasn t broadcast in the documentary, and elite models sued the bbc, alleging misrepresentation. a confidential settlement was reached, and the bbc agreed never to show the documentary again. i feel responsibility myself, because i started doing that work, and i feel that the settlement with elite sort of, sort of halted progress, really. but 20 years later, and galvanised by the #metoo movement, lisa decided to revisit this story. it meant coming here, to paris, where gerald marie was based, in order for her to launch a formal complaint of sexual assault against him. a year ago, she was accompanied by three other women making similar accusations. now that number stands at 1a. and he had me pinned down on the bed. he was on top of me, and he tried to rape me. and the question is, why did it take so long
