Overview
- The officers, aged 35 and 23, have been placed under formal investigation for rape and sexual assaults by persons abusing authority and are in pretrial detention.
- Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau confirmed a four-second clip found on one suspect's phone that shows a sexual act and said it is among elements that corroborate the complaint.
- The 26-year-old woman alleges two rapes during the night of October 28–29 in the Bobigny courthouse holding area, while both officers admit sexual activity but claim it was consensual.
- The Internal Affairs agency IGPN has been assigned to the case, and the Interior Minister announced the officers' immediate suspension and called the alleged conduct extraordinarily serious if proven.
- Cells in the holding area are not equipped with cameras, only corridors are recorded, and prosecutors underscore that the complainant's deprivation of liberty weighs on the assessment of any purported consent.
