The former French swimmer Yannick Agnel, prosecuted for rape on a minor, “recognizes the materiality of the facts,” said the prosecutor of the Republic of Mulhouse, Edwige Roux-Morizot, at a press conference on Monday. Several sexual assaults allegedly occurred in 2016, in Mulhouse and abroad. Acts “qualified as rape”, because of the big difference between Agnel, 24 years old at the time and the young girl, 13 years old, at the time of the facts mentioned. The prosecutor added that the former Olympic champion did not have “the feeling of constraining the young girl”. According to Commissioner Jeandel, head of the Mulhouse Judicial Police antenna: “Yannick Agnel has not stopped speaking” during his indictment.
