Rugby Internationals Return to France Amid Ongoing Rape Case.

Two French rugby players have returned to France nearly two months after their arrest and rape charges during a national team tour in Argentina.

Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, both 21, are accused of raping, beating, and detaining a 39-year-old woman they met in a nightclub in Mendoza last July.

The players deny the charges, which are still pending. 

The court has permitted their return to France, but they may need to attend hearings at the Argentine consulate and could be summoned back to Mendoza.
