Video of alleged police rape at French courthouse found: prosecutor
"Two French policemen have been charged for allegedly raping a young woman while she was in custody, with one of the suspects apparently filming the act on his phone. The officers were initially suspended after the woman accused them of assaulting her earlier this week while she was in custody at a court in Bobigny, a town in the northeastern suburbs of Paris."
"The two officers have been charged with rape and sexual assault by persons abusing their authority and remanded in custody, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement on Saturday. On Sunday, Beccuau said a video had been discovered on the mobile phone of one of the officers under investigation. The video lasts four seconds and shows a sexual act, a source close to the case told AFP."
Two French police officers were charged with rape and sexual assault after a 26-year-old woman accused them of assault while she was held at the Bobigny judicial court. One suspect allegedly filmed a sexual act on his mobile phone; a four-second video was found on an officer's phone. Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the charges were supported by the complainant's statements and corroborating evidence, including the video. The officers, aged 23 and 35, deny wrongdoing and say the acts were consensual. The case raises questions about consent for detainees and follows a broader national debate on rape and consent.
