Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred, indicted on rape charges and placed under judicial supervision on Tuesday (August 28), has «vigorously denied rape charges», declared his lawyer, Jean-Marc Fedida, reports Franceinfo.
On Saturday night, the 33-year-old star met a young woman in a nightclub in Saint-Tropez. He invited her to his hotel room and they both had «consensual sex», stressed his lawyer. «There is no material evidence, referring to violence», he added.
The prosecutor's office in Draguignan, however, gives a different version of the story with the alleged victim accusing the Pop star of «raping» her. Saad Lamjarred is forbidden from leaving France.
On Facebook, his father, singer Bachir Abdou, announced yesterday that his son was released in the middle of the evening. «Thank God, my son Saad is free», he simply wrote.
It is not the first time that Lamjarred faces similar accusations. In October 2016, the singer was arrested in Paris for allegedly «raping» and sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman.
Awaiting trial, Saad Lamjarred stayed in prison until April 2017, when he was released by the Paris Court of Appeal on the condition of wearing an electronic bracelet. In March, he was authorized to travel to Morocco to promote his song «Ghazali Ghazali».
For the record, Lamjarred was indicted for rape on April 11 after a French-Moroccan woman claimed that he has beaten her in Casablanca in 2015.
