(AFP) Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan has been hit by another charge of raping a woman, his lawyers in France said Thursday, after four other similar accusations.
The 58-year-old Ramadan, a Swiss national, has already been charged in France with raping four other women, which he denies.
A father of four whose grandfather founded Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Ramadan was a professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University until he was forced to take leave when rape allegations surfaced at the height of the “Me Too” movement in 2017.
The latest charge relates to the alleged rape in 2013 and 2014 of Mounia Rabbouj, a former escort girl who was one of the first to accuse him of sexual assault.
