Key Hearing in Auradou-Jegou Rape Case Postponed to October 25

The decision on whether to drop charges against the French rugby players accused of rape in Argentina has been delayed, with new medical evidence introduced.

The hearing to decide on the non-lieu, or dismissal of charges, for Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou has been rescheduled for October 25.
New medical evidence concerning the plaintiff's condition was added to the case, contributing to the postponement.
The players, accused of aggravated rape in July, maintain that the encounter was consensual, while the plaintiff alleges severe violence.
Despite the defense's optimism for a non-lieu, the judge may take additional time to deliberate after the October 25 hearing.
The case has sparked significant media attention and debate, with potential repercussions for the rugby community and legal actions pending.
