antwerp - An 18-year-old Belgian woman accuses a French rugby player of rape during their vacation in Malta. The events took place last summer but have only recently been leaked to the press.

An 18-year-old Belgian woman has accused a 19-year-old French rugby player of engaging in 'certain sexual acts without her consent,' according to prosecutors. The alleged incident took place last summer, and the news has recently come to light, as reported by Sud-Ouest newspaper.

Following the accusation, the rugby player was arrested and placed in custody at the Corradino prison, Malta's largest penitentiary center located in Paola. After a month in detention, he was released on bail and has since returned to France, resuming his sports activities.
