Moha La Squale will have an appointment in court but not before a jury. A trial was ordered once morest the rapper before the Paris Criminal Court for spousal violence or kidnapping committed once morest six former partners while a dismissal of the case was rendered concerning accusations of sexual assault and rape.
Aged 29, Mohamed Bellahmed, his real name, must appear for violence once morest six of his exes between 2017 and 2021, according to the referral order signed by a Parisian investigating judge on March 14. He defended himself once morest these accusations, assuring that he had “never, NEVER raised a hand once morest a woman”. “This plot was perpetrated to harm me,” he argued in April 2021.
Calls to criminalize the facts
Moha la Squale therefore benefited from a dismissal of the charges of rape and sexual assault to which he was the subject, denounced by two of the complainants. The hearing of the case before the criminal court is, however, not final: appeals have been made by several lawyers for the ex-partners, who consider that the facts are criminal.
After this decision to abandon the prosecution on the sexual violence part, the lawyer of the accused, Me Elise Arfi, for her part was pleased: “As one might expect, this file, which is a creation media, has collapsed on the legal level. “There remain some residual prosecution facts, which are in any case totally contested,” she continued. “My client is not and has never been a sexual assaulter. I don’t know how he will be able to return to normal life following so many ordeals, but I hope he will manage to resume his career where things suddenly stopped.”
The rapper was first indicted in June 2021 for sexual assault and violence once morest ex-partners. In July 2022, he was also indicted for rape of another ex-partner. But in the “absence of material evidence to support” these latest accusations, the investigating judge decided to dismiss the case on this aspect.
“Excessive cannabis consumption”
In her prescription, she emphasizes on the other hand that he is “described by his successive companions as cyclothymic, impulsive, immature, capricious and angry”, traits “probably strongly accentuated by excessive consumption of cannabis”, which are registered “on a paranoid and jealous terrain.”
Initially placed under judicial supervision following his indictment in June 2021, Moha la Squale had failed to fulfill his obligations several times, notably by leaving France despite a ban, leading to his incarceration in June 2022. Released a year later and placed under an electronic bracelet, he “escaped” last November and was quickly found in Germany, then placed in pre-trial detention once more on February 9.
