An Argentine woman accusing two French international rugby players of rape was savagely beaten by her assailants, her lawyer said, during an encounter that the men claim was consensual. Hugo Auradou, 20, and Oscar Jegou, 21, are waiting to be transferred to the city of Mendoza, where the assault allegedly took place and where they will be questioned by prosecutors.
They have not been charged with a crime. The men were arrested in Buenos Aires on Monday, two days after a Test match against Argentina, when investigators determined the alleged victim’s injuries were consistent with her account of rape.
The woman’s lawyer, Natacha Romano, told AFP on Wednesday her client had suffered “fierce” violence at the hands of her assailants, with injuries to her face, back, breasts, legs and ribs as well as various bite and scratch marks.
She said the woman had gone with one of the men from a nightclub to a hotel room, where she alleges she was held against her will and abused for several hours.
