Ribery and Benzema are facing up to three years in jail

(1/3) > >>

Elano:
Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, Real Madrid's Karim Benzema and Lyon's Sidney Govou have all been implicated in the case, which broke on April 10th  when ten people were arrested at a Paris nightspot, Café Zaman.

The case is currently in the inquiry stage, and as yet no charges have been filed.

Prostitution is not illegal in France — but purchasing sex with underage women is. And police charge that the woman at the center of the case, named as Zahia Dehar, was 16 at the time of her liaisons with Ribery and 17 when she entertained Benzema (Govou is also alleged to have had a relationship with Zehar, but after she turned 18).

Under French law, that means Ribery and Benzema are facing serious criminal penalties: Up to three years in jail and fines in excess of $60,0000. It has been widely reported that Ribery has acknowledged the relationship to the police, but said that Dehar claimed to be of age. That doesn't matter under the French penal code, which holds johns responsible.

Dehar, who has been merrily chattering away to the French press, says she has provided specific information on Ribery to the police, including that he paid her $3,000 to join him in Munich last year.

Photos of her and Ribery together have surfaced, and several witnesses have placed her at several major European soccer events. Dehar also claims to have made as much as $30,000 a month, which she used to support her parents.

While Ribery has been interviewed as a witness, Benzema has not. French authorities are traveling to interview him in Spain this week. Dehar is not facing any criminal charges.

What an unfair law system... basically a 16-year-old bitch can do whatever she wants and make a fortune off of it, while a man has to hire some private detectives to check on her age.  :-X
