Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred is back in the limelight for yet another> rape accusation. On Monday, French authorities arrested the 33-year-old singer after a woman in southern France filed a complaint against him.
According to the BBC, the singer was then placed under formal investigation over the incident which allegedly took place in a hotel in Saint-Tropez, a coastal town in the French Riviera.
Al Arabiya reported that the French judiciary "ordered the release of Saad Lamjarred on probation after he paid his bail". The musician will be under judicial supervision, meaning he cannot travel outside of France.
No further details on the case have been disseminated. However, prosecutors say the case is "complex" and involves two "radically opposed versions of events", according to BBC.
"I hope he stays in jail forever"
"This is what happens when you let a sex offender not only walk free ... but be celebrated"
"Lamjarred is a piece of rotten sh*t ... and if you defend him, so are you"
"Third time is a pattern"
"Low life sexual predator"
"What a shame"
