An Argentine court on Tuesday dismissed rape charges against two French international rugby players accused of assaulting a woman after a match in the country, the players' lawyers said.
"As we expected, the French players have been acquitted because the act was consensual, meaning there was no crime and no doubt that they are innocent," defense attorney German Hnatow said after the hearing in the city of Mendoza. Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, both aged 21, were arrested two days after winning their first international caps for France against Argentina in Mendoza, about 620 miles west of the capital Buenos Aires.
The woman, whom they met in a nightclub on the night of their July 6 match, said they assaulted her viciously in the hotel room.The players were kept in preventive custody for a little over a week and then under house arrest for nearly a month before being allowed to return to France after prosecutors said the case against them appeared flimsy.
