Two Irishmen among five rugby players sent to trial over alleged gang rape

Two Irishmen are among five rugby players who were today sent to trial over the alleged gang rape of a young woman in France.

Denis Coulson, 28 is alleged to have taken part in the alleged sex attack along with Frenchman Loick Jammes, 27, and New Zealander Rory Grice, 32, judicial sources said on Monday.

They were originally indicted in June 2019, and an appeal against that decision has now been rejected by the Appeals Court in Bordeaux, South West France. Chris Farrell, 29 and also Irish, is meanwhile accused of allegedly ‘failing to prevent the crime’, along with Dylan Hayes, 28, from New Zealand.
