‘Tinder rapist’ gets 18 years’ jail for sex assault of several women in France

Summary by Ground News

Salim Berrada, a 38-year-old former photographer from Morocco, was found guilty of 12 rapes and three sexual assaults and will be obliged to leave France in the "Tinder rapist" case, named after the popular dating app. He was charged with raping or sexually assaulting 17 women, but he was acquitted of rape for two alleged victims because of a lack of evidence and the benefit of the doubt. Berrada remained emotionless as the verdict was read out while his victims were heard breathing sighs of relief as the presiding judge read out their names one by one. When the hearing was declared over, several of the women stood up to applaud, shout "thank you" and hug each other after the two-week trial.
