Teddy Riner's coach accused of sexual assault

Judoka and French number three in her weight category, LM, 24, was eagerly awaiting this Wednesday, September 10. Today, in fact, her former club coach, whom she blames for "sexual assault and retention of images obtained through an invasion of privacy," must explain himself before a committee on youth, sports and community life.

This commission must issue an opinion, which will then be forwarded to the departmental prefect.
