The Paris Court of Appeal considers that the famous Moroccan singer should be tried for the rape of which a young woman is accused. It invalidates the


It is a rebound unfavorable to Saad Lamjarred. According to our information, the investigative chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal decided, in a judgment on Tuesday, to send the singer back to the Assize Court for the alleged rape of a young woman at the hotel Marriot in Paris, October 26, 2016.

The court of appeal thus reversed the order made last April by the investigating judge who had reclassified the facts as sexual assault and violence, referring the artist to the criminal court. His accuser, who had appealed, has therefore just won his case.

“We are satisfied with this decision. The investigating chamber made a reading and a rigorous analysis of the facts, and did not follow the parquet floor which asked for the confirmation of the reference in correctional. Rape is a crime, it is the assize court which is competent ”, reacts Jean-Marc Descoubes, lawyer for the complainant, Laura P., now 23 years old.

In this case, Saad Lamjarred, 34, has always claimed his innocence, disputing any sexual act and any violence against the young woman.
