Soccer Star Mbappe Cleared of Sexual Assault Charges... Due to Lack of This
A Woman Filed a Lawsuit in Sweden Last October
French football star Kylian Mbapp? (25, Real Madrid) has been cleared of sexual assault allegations, with the investigation officially closed as 'no charges'.
On the 13th (local time), the British public broadcaster BBC reported that the Swedish prosecution, which was investigating Mbapp?'s sexual assault allegations, ended the investigation due to insufficient evidence. Marina Chirakova, the Swedish prosecutor leading the investigation, stated, "We judged that there was not enough evidence to proceed further."
Mbapp? was previously accused of sexual assault and harassment by a woman during his visit to Sweden last October. The woman claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Mbapp? at a hotel in Stockholm where he was staying between the night of October 10 and the early hours of October 11.
Local media reported that the woman visited a hospital in Stockholm at the time, where she was diagnosed with physical injuries and psychological trauma caused by the sexual assault, and filed a complaint at the police station the following day, on the 12th. Subsequently, local police visited the hotel where Mbapp? stayed and collected related evidence, including CCTV footage.
Following reports on the sexual assault allegations, Mbapp? denied all suspicions on his social media accounts, calling them "fake news."
Recently, during an appearance on a French TV program, he mentioned the incident again, emphasizing, "I have received nothing (from the Swedish judicial authorities). I have not received a summons. I am not involved."
Meanwhile, Mbapp? is a football star who contributed to France's national team winning the 2018 Russia World Cup. At that time, he was only 19 years old.
