According to the woman, Achraf Hakimi allegedly raped her after he invited her to his home when his wife was on holiday with their children.

The alleged victim is said to have lodged a report with the French Police although she did not want to press ahead with charges against him.

Hakimi got married to Hiba in 2022 after two years of dating. They have two sons together. Apparently, the rape accusations must have lodge a wedge between the two couples.
