Achraf Hakimi Faces Trial Request Over 2023 Rape Allegation

Achraf Hakimi Faces Trial Request Over 2023 Rape Allegation

Achraf Hakimi, a soccer player for Paris Saint-Germain, is in legal trouble.

Prosecutors in France want him to go on trial because a woman says he raped her in 2023.

If the court agrees, he will be tried.

Hakimi's lawyer doesn't think the trial is needed, but the woman's lawyer is glad.

The alleged incident happened in a town near Paris.

The case began after the woman filed a complaint, but refused to formally accuse Hakimi.

Hakimi denies the accusations, and his lawyer says he was the target of attempted extortion.
