PSG’s Achraf Hakimi has denied rape allegations against him, claiming he’s been falsely accused and maintaining the 2023 encounter was consensual as he faces a potential 15-year prison sentence.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defender Achraf Hakimi has spoken out for the first time about rape charges he’s facing, firmly denying any wrongdoing and claiming he’s the victim of a false accusation.
The Morocco international, who’s been nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, told Canal+ he remains confident despite the serious allegations stemming from an incident at his home in February 2023. Hakimi said:
I’m calm. But being falsely accused is horrible and unfair. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
The 26-year-old could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted, with prosecutors pushing for the case to go to trial at the Hauts-de-Seine criminal court.
