PSG’s Hakimi given preliminary charges on rape allegation

PARIS (AP) — French prosecutors say Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi was given preliminary charges of rape. The prosecutors office in Nanterre says Hakimi was questioned by investigators probing rape allegations on Thursday. He was then given preliminary charges and placed under judicial supervision. A 24-year-old woman says she was raped by Hakimi on Saturday at his home in a Paris suburb. The Spanish-born Hakimi is a defender who helped Morocco make World Cup history last year by becoming the first African team to reach the tournament’s semifinals. He trained with PSG on Friday.
