Tariq Ramadan to Stand Trial for Sexual Assault Charges

The Swiss scholar's appeals were dismissed, finalizing his prosecution for alleged assaults on three women from 2009 to 2016.

Tariq Ramadan, a prominent Swiss Islamic scholar, will face trial in Paris for aggravated rape and sexual assault on three women.
The French Court of Cassation rejected Ramadan's appeals, solidifying the decision to proceed with the trial.
The allegations, dating from 2009 to 2016, have been part of a highly publicized case linked to the #MeToo movement.
Previously, Ramadan was sentenced to three years in prison in Switzerland for a separate sexual assault case dating back to 2008.
Ramadan has acknowledged past extramarital relationships but maintains they were consensual, a claim central to his defense.
