In December 2021, the ex-swimmer, Yannick Agnel, was placed in police custody as part of an investigation for “rape and sexual assault on a 15-year-old minor”, who happened to be the daughter of his former trainer. The facts go back “about 2016”. At that time, the young man was licensed at Mulhouse Olympic Natation.
But several months after this scandal, the name of the sportsman and justice are once again associated.
According to corroborating sources, indicates the Parisian, the double Olympic champion would be at the heart of a second investigation carried out by investigators from the Mulhouse judicial police. About a month after his indictment, the investigating judge in charge of the case would have asked the prosecution to open “a supplementary indictment for acts of sexual abuse” on a young minor girl of his entourage.
Still according to information from our colleagues, these facts would have taken place several years ago, during an alcoholic evening. Major, he would have flirted with a young girl of his entourage, before in his company. It was at this time that he allegedly touched the girl, whose age remains unknown for the moment. This new story would have emerged thanks to telephone tapping carried out in the context of the first case.
Asked during his custody about other potential relationships with minors, Yannick Agnel himself would have mentioned this story, according to someone close to the case. For the moment, he has not been heard or indicted for these facts.
