Loïck Jammes

Loïck Jammes is a French rugby player. He, along with Denis Coulson and Rory Grice, was convicted of raping a 20-year-old woman in Bordeaux in 2017 following a rugby match. All three were members of the Grenoble rugby team at the time of the incident. Jammes' conviction and sentence were recently confirmed by the Charente court of assizes in an appeal trial. He, along with the other two convicted, received prison sentences, with Jammes' sentence being up to 14 years. The case is newsworthy due to the severity of the crime and the confirmation of the initial verdict, highlighting issues of sexual assault and accountability within professional sports. Their lawyers have announced plans to appeal the decision to the Court of Cassation.
