Sex assault charges and arrest

[edit]

On 8 July 2024, Jégou was arrested in Buenos Aires, Argentina on sex abuse charges.[2][3][4] Jégou and fellow France national rugby teammate Hugo Auradou reportedly committed an act of sexual assault against a woman while staying at the Diplomatic Hotel in Mendoza, Argentina on 6 July 2024 while the Les Bleus tour was underway in the area.[2][4][3] The accuser reported that she was not only sexually abused by both Auradou and Jégou during a party which took place at the hotel, but was also "strangled and beaten."[5]
