2 French Rugby Players Arrested On Sexual Assault Charges

The Argentine woman claims to have been raped "at least six times" by one of the men and once by the other, according to the lawyer.

An Argentine woman accusing two French international rugby players of rape was savagely beaten by her assailants, her lawyer said Wednesday, during an encounter that the men claim was consensual.

Hugo Auradou, 20, and Oscar Jegou, 21, are waiting to be transferred to the city of Mendoza, where the assault allegedly took place and where they will be questioned by prosecutors. They have not been charged with a crime.

The men were arrested in Buenos Aires on Monday, two days after a Test match against Argentina, when investigators determined the alleged victim's injuries were consistent with her account of rape.
