The lawyers of the French players accused of sexual violence in Argentina claim that the relationships were consensual
The lawyers of Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, two French rugby players, have claimed that the sexual relations with a young woman accusing the two men of sexual violence were consensual. According to Rafael Cuneo Libarona, the players’ lawyer, it was a meeting with one player followed by sexual relations with both players. He also stated that the plaintiff did not receive any blows.
The players deny any violence
Rafael Cuneo Libarona explained that the young woman was invited by one of the players to go to the men’s restroom of a nightclub, then to the hotel where she waited for the player to get the room key. According to him, there was no greater consent than this evidence, as witnesses and camera recordings show that she left the hotel without any signs of blows.
The players, Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, admitted to having had a sexual relationship with the young woman but firmly denied any form of violence, according to a statement from the French Rugby Federation.
