A rape allegation was made on Monday morning in Bordeaux after the attack, which took place near the victim’s accommodation in the city
An Ireland fan was allegedly gang-raped by three men while in Bordeaux to watch her country’s opening Rugby World Cup win.
According to reports in France, police are “actively seeking” those accused of assaulting a 37-year-old woman overnight on Sunday evening on Rue de la Rousselle in the centre of the city, close to where she was staying.
She was said to have been walking near her accommodation the night after Ireland’s 82-8 win over Romania when she was allegedly attacked.
According to L’Independant, the woman was able to make her way back to the residence but was in a state of shock and was initially unable to report the attack to French police, who found her “traumatised and prostrate”.
