Hakimi faces a 15-year prison sentence.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi will have to appear in court in an alleged rape case dating back to 2023 and could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

The decision to bring the case to trial was announced this week. The allegations relate to an incident that allegedly occurred in February 2023 at Hakimi's home in Val-de-Marne, a region southeast of Paris.

A 24-year-old woman alleges that he assaulted her after they met on social media. According to her previous testimony, the plaintiff stated that she arrived at Hakimi's house in a taxi booked by the player. She alleges being kissed and touched without consent before being raped. She says she pushed him away and texted a friend to pick her up.

Hakimi denies all charges. On social media platform X, he wrote that a single charge is enough to warrant trial and affirmed that he will wait for the court to clarify the truth. His lawyer, Fanny Colin, said the decision to open the trial was based solely on the plaintiff's testimony. She also said her client has always cooperated with the investigation.
