Al-Marsad Newspaper – Agencies: The Moroccan artist, Saad Lamjarred, denied raping the French young woman, Lorab, or having a sexual relationship with her, in response to her accusations that he raped and beat her in a hotel room, according to “Agence France Presse”.
He narrated, during a session held today for his trial, the details of what happened when he met the young woman in October 2016, stressing that the meeting between them took place in a luxurious nightclub in the French capital, and then they moved to his hotel room.
“Just because” tells the story
Lamjarred talked about what happened in the taxi, saying, “One of us held the hand of the other, and she praised her beauty and we embraced, and it was not a hug of friends.. One of us admired the other. It was not only physical, but I loved her personality even though we only spoke for two hours.”
He added: In the room, they danced and talked, then she said to him, “Sorry, I couldn’t kiss you in front of everyone,” and he considered her mere words a “sign,” so he bent down and kissed her with a “long kiss.”
The difference between the two accounts
And at this point, the difference between the two accounts begins, as Laura B. Before the court, on Tuesday, “we danced and listened to music and had various conversations,” then “we kissed. Suddenly, he hit me on the head.”
The singer then ordered her to take off her shirt, and she obeyed, “terrified,” according to what she said, crying.
Laura continued her narration, indicating that she was unable to restrain Saad Lamjarred, who punched her and then raped her, before she succeeded in repelling him by “biting him in the lower back and punching him,” and leaving the room, putting an end to this “nightmare.”
As for Lamjarred, who faces other very similar rape charges in Morocco, the United States and France, he refuses to talk about it. He recounted that they were undressing when he felt a “very painful scratch” on his back.
Brutally pushed her
“I did something I regretted, I brutally pushed her in the face. It was an involuntary reaction, I’m not proud of it,” he added, noting that he had drank alcohol and used cocaine.
“I shouldn’t have done that, a real man doesn’t do that,” he added.
He then addressed the judge, “Mr. President, I say it today and I will say it until my last breath: I, Saad Lamjarred, have never had sex with Laura B. in any way.”
Without turning around, he turned to Laura and said, “Sorry for the backlash, I didn’t want to make you cry.”
family future
“On the other hand, my future, my family, my life and my reputation…we are both in a bad situation. I try to smile, make videos, but I don’t feel like smiling,” the singer, who has garnered hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, weeps.
Judge Frederick Allen asked him more than once, did he inquire of Laura “why did she act in this way” as long as it was a “misunderstanding”.
Lamjarred replied, “I am not saying that she lied, but I say that she may have made a mistake.”
The verdict in the case is expected to be issued on Friday.
