Prosecutors Find Video in Case of Alleged Rape by Two Police at Bobigny Courthouse

Overview

• A four‑second video showing a sexual act was found on one officer’s phone and is among elements prosecutors say corroborate the woman’s account.
• The two officers, aged 23 and 35, have been indicted and placed in pretrial detention on charges of rape and sexual assault aggravated by abuse of authority.
• Both men admit sexual relations occurred but claim consent, which the 26‑year‑old complainant disputes.
• The alleged assaults took place overnight Oct. 28–29 in the Bobigny courthouse detention area, where there were no surveillance cameras.
• The IGPN is leading the criminal probe under the Paris prosecutor, an administrative inquiry is underway, and the interior minister has suspended the officers.
