Paris Saint-Germain player Achraf Hakimi has spoken out regarding a rape allegation.
A court in Hauts-de-Seine, France, has referred the case to criminal court.
Hakimi has maintained his innocence throughout the process.
He stated that an accusation alone should not be enough to warrant a trial.
Hakimi believes the evidence shows the accusation is false.
The legal proceedings will now move forward based on the court's referral.
