While the hearing to examine the request for dismissal of the two French internationals should take place shortly, the 39-year-old complainant, who accuses Oscar Jegou and Hugo Auradou of aggravated rape in a meeting, expressed her feeling of rights “violated” by the courts before a legislative commission.

What will be the consequences of this Jegou-Auradou affair? Pending the request for dismissal made by the two players of the XV of France, accused of gang rape of a 39-year-old woman during a Blues tour in Argentina, the plaintiff continues her standoff with justice. As reported by AFP, the Argentine woman presented her grievances this Thursday before a legislative commission in Mendoza.

A request for access to the investigation file will thus be made by its president, José Luis Ramon. The complainant declared at the beginning of September, the date on which her lawyers had requested the recusal of the two prosecutors in charge of the investigation, that she felt “abandoned by the justice system of Mendoza”. “They treat me like a criminal when I am the victim,” she said.
