Woman accusing French rugby players of rape hospitalized: lawyer
The 39-year-old was taken ill emotionally and physically "because of everything that happened" and will receive treatment at a health facility for 24 to 48 hours, lawyer Natacha Romano said.
Hugo Auradou, 20, and Oscar Jegou, 21, were arrested Monday in Buenos Aires after the woman accused them of raping her multiple times and savagely beating her in a hotel room in the city of Mendoza after a match.
They were being transferred Thursday from Interpol's Buenos Aires headquarters to Mendoza, where they will be questioned.
They have denied the accusation, and say sexual relations with the woman were consensual.
Romano told AFP on Wednesday her client had suffered "fierce" violence at the hands of her assailants in a hotel room, with injuries to her face, back, breasts, legs and ribs as well as various bite and scratch marks.
The woman claims to have been raped "at least six times" by one of the men and once by the other, according to the lawyer.
She allegedly tried to escape several times.
