French sailor and ocean racer Kévin Escoffier is set to stand trial in the criminal court of Lorient on Monday, facing charges of sexual aggression against four women. The allegations span a period between 2017 and 2023, involving incidents in France, the United States, Australia, and Brazil. Escoffier, who denies the accusations, appeared before the court where his defense counsel, Virginie Le Roy, requested the nullity of the proceedings, citing an investigation she characterized as biased and flawed. The trial follows a previous hearing scheduled for March 30, which was postponed at the request of the prosecution after new evidence was submitted. [1]
