A badminton coach was indicted and imprisoned for rape of a minor committed in the course of his duties, we learned on Friday from the Mulhouse public prosecutor.
The man, aged 42, coached at a club based in Staffelfelden (Haut-Rhin). “He was indicted for acts of sexual assault and rape of a minor over 15 years old by a person with authority,” indicated Edwige Roux-Morizot, confirming information from BFM Alsace.
He claims that the relationships were consensual
Arrested on May 13, the accused was placed in pre-trial detention on May 15, after 48 hours in police custody. The accused had admitted the existence of sexual relations but affirmed that they were consensual.
A 19-year-old young woman filed a complaint at the beginning of the year to denounce sexual assault and rape committed by her coach when she was 16, between 2021 and 2023.
According to a source close to the case, there could be other victims of this coach employed by the Entente sportive de badminton (ES2B), founded in 2003. Several dozen people were interviewed as part of the preliminary investigation.
