Achraf Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain defender, is confirmed to face trial for rape allegations stemming from an incident in February 2023. The allegations were made by a woman who claimed that after meeting Hakimi on Instagram, she was raped at his home in Paris. Hakimi has consistently denied the accusations, stating, "Today, a rape accusation is enough to justify a trial, even though I contest it and everything proves that it is false. It is as unfair to the innocent as it is to sincere victims." His lawyer, Fanny Colin, criticized the case for relying solely on the plaintiff's word, highlighting that she obstructed investigations by refusing medical examinations and not providing key witness information. The trial is set to take place at an unspecified date in the Hauts-de-Seine departmental criminal court in Paris (Middle East Eye, The Guardian).
