French Rugby Players Accused of Rape Return to France as Legal Battle Persists

Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou face ongoing trial in Argentina, with conditions imposed for their release.

The players were allowed to leave Argentina after nearly two months under arrest.
Their lawyer described their experience as a 'horror movie' and hailed their return as a significant step.
The French Rugby Federation supports the court's decision, emphasizing the presumption of innocence.
The players admit to a sexual encounter but claim it was consensual, while the accuser alleges assault.
The court highlighted contradictions in the accuser's testimony, undermining the prosecution's case.
