Pippa Middleton's father-in-law, David Matthews, has been charged with rape of a minor, French national news agency AFP reported. The sister of Prince Williams's wife Kate has yet to speak out about the incident. Click through for more details.
Last week, David was taken into custody for questioning by investigators with France's Minor Protection Brigade. The case that he's being charged in dates back to 1998-99.
However, the recent complaint wasn't lodged until 2017. His specific charges are "rape of a minor by a person with authority over his victim," according to reports.
The multi-millionaire, 74, is accused of one attack in Paris and another in St. Barts, although no further details are known at this time. David has denied these charges.

While David's been released on bail, it's unclear if he can leave the country and travel home to St. Barts, where he lives with his wife Jane, 70.
David is the father of James, Pippa's billionaire husband. The two married last year in a stunning ceremony.
