Indictment Alleges 2019 Rape of Schumacher Caregiver at Family Estate

Prosecutors describe a 2019 incident at the Lake Geneva home with sharply divergent accounts from the accused and the caregiver.

Overview

  • The accused is described in filings as an Australian racing driver and friend of Mick Schumacher who stayed overnight in the main house on the date in question.
  • Prosecutor-cited documents place the alleged assault on 23 November 2019 after an evening in the billiards room that involved drinking vodka cocktails.
  • The caregiver says the man was only a family acquaintance, while he claims a prior friendly relationship that included a kiss in a Geneva club.
  • The woman reported the case in January 2022, and text messages exchanged with the accused were added to the case file, according to the reporting.
  • A hearing was set for Wednesday morning, but reports say it is unclear if it will go ahead because authorities have lacked contact with the defendant for months.
