Kylian Mbappé suspected of sexual assault: what we know so far

News broke like a thunderbolt that PSG forward Kylian Mbappé is facing allegations of sexual assault. The Dailysports team has gathered all the currently available information on this incident.

What happened?

During the recent international break, instead of joining the French national team, Mbappé reportedly traveled to Sweden, where he was spotted by journalists. He was first seen at a restaurant, and later, according to reports, moved to a nightclub, where he reserved a private room.

Soon after, a complaint was filed against him, leading to a “reasonable suspicion” — the lowest level of suspicion under Swedish law.

How is Mbappé responding to the accusations?

Mbappé has publicly denied the allegations on social media. Swedish legal experts note that such denials could be viewed as potentially aggravating the situation. His lawyer, maintaining his client’s innocence, stated that Mbappé “does not understand the accusations against him and remains completely calm.”

Rumors have also surfaced, suggesting that Mbappé may be struggling with mental health issues and has reportedly been seen socializing in nightclubs and drinking.

What could Mbappé face?

With the investigation ongoing and no formal charges filed, it’s difficult to predict any consequences for Mbappé.

However, as a French citizen and therefore an EU national, Swedish authorities would have legal recourse to pursue him if needed, even if he were residing in Spain.

How is Real Madrid responding?

Real Madrid has not issued an official statement on the matter, but their reaction has been somewhat mixed. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed support for Mbappé, advising him to focus on football while club lawyers handle off-field matters.

However, Real Madrid did make a subtle move, editing Mbappé out of a promotional image for their technical sponsor, Adidas.
