Moroccan Artist Saad Lamjarred To Face Trial Over Rape Lawsuit in France
The Moroccan musician Saad Lamjarred has been causing controversy since his involvement in multiple rape lawsuits in different countries. In 2010, Lamjarred was accused of beating and raping a woman in New York. In 2016, he was accused of physically assaulting and raping a young French woman in a hotel in Paris.
Although the 37-year-old singer has been denying all of the accusations, he could spend up to 20 years in prison if found guilty. Additionally, the verdict is expected to be made this Friday. According to the victim, Lamjarred was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and repeatedly abused her as she tried to push him away before sexually assaulting her.
Back in Oct. 2020, Lamjarred’s concert at the Cairo Show Theatre was canceled as a result of strong social media campaigns that were launched against Lamjarred over rape allegations.
