French Rugby Players Charged with Aggravated Rape in Argentina

By 172 0

Two French international rugby players, Hugo Auradou, 20, and Oscar Jegou, 21, have been charged with the aggravated rape of a 39-year-old woman in Argentina, following a match against Argentina. Prosecutors in Argentina announced the charges, with the incident allegedly occurring after France’s victory on Saturday. The woman claims that the players raped and assaulted her multiple times in a hotel room in Mendoza.

Auradou and Jegou, who opted not to testify at a hearing, assert that the encounter was consensual and deny the rape accusations. They will remain in custody as the investigation continues.

The incident reportedly took place at the Diplomatic Hotel, where the French team was staying during their South American tour. According to the woman’s lawyer, she left a nightclub with one of the men and went to his hotel room, where she alleges she was raped six times by one man and once by the other. The woman described suffering severe violence, including injuries to her face, back, breasts, legs, and ribs, along with bite and scratch marks. She also stated that she was held against her will for several hours and made multiple escape attempts. She sought hospital treatment on Thursday due to the emotional and physical impact of the incident.

The players’ lawyer, German Hnatow, expressed confidence in their innocence, stating they are calm but concerned about the situation. Another lawyer, Mariano Cuneo Libarona, indicated that there are witnesses and camera footage showing the woman leaving the hotel without visible injuries. The French Rugby Federation president, Florian Gill, also noted that the players have a different version of events and emphasized the need for a swift investigation by the Argentine justice system.

Auradou and Jegou have been replaced by Mickael Guillard and Judicael Cancoriet for the upcoming match against Argentina in Buenos Aires.

Sexual assault charges against US rapper Snoop Dogg have been dropped

By 455 0

An unnamed woman filed a sexual assault claim against US rapper Snoop Dogg, which was later withdrawn.

Jane Doe, the woman named in the lawsuit, claimed that the US rapper sexually assaulted her after she attended one of his concerts in 2013. The allegations were false, according to Snoop Dogg’s representatives, who welcomed the voluntary dismissal.

The claim was withdrawn earlier this week, nearly two months after it was filed in California’s Central District. It was filed just days before Snoop Dogg’s appearance at the Super Bowl half-time show.

Charges against all other parties named in the case, including the rapper’s business associate, were also dropped as a result of the voluntary dismissal. Snoop Dogg’s ex-girlfriend was described as a dancer, model, host, and actress. However, the actress stated that she had never worked for him.

In a statement to the Reuters news agency on Thursday, a representative for Snoop Dogg said, “It is not surprising that the plaintiff dismissed her complaint against the defendants.”

“Her complaint was riddled with inaccuracies and flaws.”

Jane Doe’s lawyer, Matt Finkelberg, has yet to publicly comment on why the case was dropped.

Initially, the unnamed woman claimed she was left “panicked and terrified” during the alleged incident, which she claimed occurred in a TV studio bathroom.

Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, allegedly barged into her house when she was sick, forcing her to perform oral sex and masturbating in front of her.

She went on to say that she had “felt pressured” by the star because of his dominance and power.

Snoop Dogg previously called the allegations “meritless” and stated that he had never had “any sexual encounter” with her.
