French rugby players accused of rape in Argentina: the complainant testifies exclusively for “Envoyé Spécial”

The 39-year-old Argentinian accuses Oscar Jegou and Hugo Auradou of raping her in a hotel room in Mendoza, Argentina. The rugby players dispute her version.
She gives her version. “Envoyé spécial” was able to collect the testimony of Argentina who accuses two French rugby players, Oscar Jegou and Hugo Auradou, of having raped her in a hotel room in Mendoza, Argentina.
“I went to the bathroom and asked him ‘please let me go home'”explains the 39-year-old woman to the microphone of “Envoyé spécial” – the image is a reconstruction. “He told me ‘no no no’, he grabbed my neck, he put me on the bed, he undressed me like an animal”assures the complainant. The two 21-year-old rugby players dispute her version of events: they acknowledge a sexual relationship, but affirm that it was consensual and deny rape.
She deplores the decision of the Mendoza public prosecutor’s office, which authorized the two rugby players to leave Argentina on Tuesday, September 3. “They [l’entourage des joueurs] are investing so much money in this court case to get them out, to be free as if they were heroes who had done nothing”she castigates. Even if they leave the country, rugby players will have to “to present themselves if summoned to the Argentine consulate in France, to establish a real and virtual address”or even “to report to Mendoza if asked”said the Mendoza prosecutor’s office.
