ÎLE-DE-FRANCE, FRANCE, AUG 1 – Prosecutors requested a trial after charging PSG defender Achraf Hakimi with rape in March 2023; he faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
- On August 1, 2025, French prosecutors formally requested that Achraf Hakimi, a 26-year-old PSG defender, stand trial for rape.

- The woman claims she met Hakimi via Instagram in January 2023, exchanged messages, then traveled by taxi paid for by Hakimi to his residence where the assault allegedly occurred.
