So Foot interviews Jules from Madintouch
3 October 2020 · Interview and expert commentary
In an article about Leeds–Manchester City, So Foot introduces “Jules, sex coach at Madintouch” and quotes him twice alongside sexologists and sex therapists. The interview establishes a public media presence for Jules from Madintouch in 2020, almost five years before the April 2025 controversy.

Documentary note: So Foot uses “Jules” and “Jules de Madintouch”, not the full name “Jules Caylar”. Our editorial archives connect this appearance to the signature now known by that name.

Who is Jules Caylar?
Jules Caylar is an editorial signature and a character in the Madintouch universe. His work combines investigation, provocation, satire and dark humour. The persona, a text’s byline, the account distributing content and the person who originally created an image are not automatically the same thing.
A separate Pelicot case file will distinguish established facts, media claims, disputed points, unresolved attribution questions and right-of-reply documents. Madintouch does not dispute the reality or severity of the crimes suffered by Gisèle Pelicot.
