Scandal Shakes the Sports Community

Two international French rugby players have been accused of raping an Argentine woman after a night out following a match, while the accused claim it was a "consensual sexual encounter." The public prosecutor's office stated in a release that it has charged the players with "sexual assault, which was aggravated by the involvement of two people," while the accused, Hugo Oruado, 20, and Oscar Jego, 21, chose not to testify at a hearing in Mendoza. If convicted, the players face prison sentences ranging from eight to 20 years. Details reveal that the men were arrested on Monday in Buenos Aires after a 39-year-old woman accused them of raping her multiple times and assaulting her in a Mendoza hotel room following the match, as part of the French national team's tour in South America.
