‘I don’t want to live in a world where I’m silent’: French courts back Canadian’s rape allegations

After an exhaustive investigation into a Toronto woman’s explosive allegations that she was raped by officers inside Paris police headquarters in 2014, France’s public prosecution office is recommending two officers go to trial for viol en reunion — gang rape.

According to a source close to the investigation, the prosecutor’s recommendation follows a two-year probe led by a French investigative judge that found sufficient incriminating evidence against the officers to merit a trial — including an explicit text from one officer to another calling the woman a derogatory sexual name.
