An Argentine court in Mendoza has dismissed aggravated sexual assault charges against two professional French rugby players accused of raping a woman earlier this year. The court cited insufficient evidence and stated that the facts under investigation do not constitute a crime.
The case began when a 39-year-old Argentine woman alleged that she was beaten, choked, and raped by the rugby players in their Mendoza hotel room after a match. The players admitted to having consensual sex with the woman, whom they met during a night out after their victory against Argentina’s Pumas.
