Overview
- A Swiss court last Friday found there was insufficient evidence to convict Mawson of alleged sexual assaults at Michael Schumacher’s Gland home in November 2019, leaving him acquitted of the charges.
- Mawson issued a public statement on social media thanking his lawyers and supporters and saying he plans to return to motorsport after a multi-year legal battle.
- The complainant told the court she woke on blood-stained sheets, said she was later sacked from the Schumacher household, and has said she will pursue employment-related legal action.
- Prosecutors relied on delayed reporting, medical reports and witness testimony but judges said memory gaps, limited forensic traces and household confidentiality narrowed what could be proved.
- Mawson’s career has already been affected by a three-year anti-doping ban and Super Licence disputes, and his acquittal could reopen questions about civil claims, team interest and eligibility to compete.
