Rory Grice

Rory Grice is a New Zealander who was a rugby player for Grenoble. He, along with Denis Coulson and Loïck Jammes, were convicted of raping a 20-year-old woman in Bordeaux in 2017 following a rugby match. The case has recently gained renewed attention because the Cour d'assises de la Charente confirmed their initial sentences on appeal. Grice's sentence, along with those of his co-defendants, was upheld, with some receiving sentences as high as 14 years. The defense lawyers have announced their intention to appeal the decision to the Cour de Cassation. The case is significant due to the severity of the crime and the high-profile nature of the individuals involved, raising questions about accountability and justice in cases of sexual assault.
