Once a rising motorsport talent, Joey Mawson's future now hangs in the balance after he was formally named in Switzerland as the suspected offender in a 2019 sexual assault case at Michael Schumacher's lakeside villa—and his failure to appear at the October 2025 hearing has left him under an international warrant and racing dreams in ruins.
According to Swiss prosecutors, Mawson, 29, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman who worked as a live-in nurse for Schumacher during a 2019 party at the retired champion's villa in Gland. The District Court of La Côte confirmed he failed to appear for his hearing earlier this month, forcing the court to postpone the trial to next year.
