Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred is awaiting a verdict on Friday, May 15, 2026, in a rape case stemming from an incident at a nightclub in Saint-Tropez, France. The trial, which has drawn significant media attention, concluded its proceedings earlier this week.
Lamjarred, 40, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a nightclub in the summer of 2024. He has denied the allegations, with his legal team arguing that the encounter was consensual. The prosecution has presented evidence including witness testimony and forensic analysis.
The case is one of several legal challenges faced by the singer, who has previously been investigated for similar allegations in other countries. The verdict is scheduled to be delivered at the Draguignan court, with the possibility of an appeal regardless of the outcome.
If convicted, Lamjarred faces a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years. The accuser has requested anonymity, as is standard in French sexual assault cases.
