France Court sentences Lamjarred to 10 years
The Court of Appeal for Criminal Cases in Crete sentenced Moroccan artist Saad Lamjarred to ten years in prison after his conviction for raping a young French woman in 2016. This verdict confirms the initial ruling issued in 2023, which sentenced him to six years. The court based its decision on evidence proving the charge of severe sexual assault, while Lamjarred’s defense announced their intention to appeal the sentence before the Court of Cassation, affirming his innocence of the accusation. The case dates back to October 2016, when the woman, who was 20 years old at the time, accused Lamjarred of raping her inside a hotel in Paris after meeting at a nightclub. The trial was held behind closed doors after previous delays to conduct additional investigations. Concurrently, Lamjarred faces other legal issues, including an attempted extortion involving three million euros and a five-year prison sentence issued in May by a court in Draguignan, which he is also appealing.
