The case was sent to Mulhouse in Eastern France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">According<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/olympics\/2021\/12\/13\/olympic-swimming-champion-agnel-denies-coercion-in-rape-case\/49520673\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> to the AP,<\/a> prosecutor Edwige Roux-Morizot said Agnel \u201crecognizes the materiality of the alleged facts\u201d but said he did not have \u201cthe feeling that there was coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cIf the facts constitute rape or sexual assault, it is because there is a significant age difference,\u201d Roux-Morizot told the AP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Agnel was 24 when the alleged rape took place. According to reports, the girl was 13 and the events took place in 2016 in several countries<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">According to French law, an adult cannot have consensual sex with somebody younger than 15 years old. According to the report, the French parliament adopted legislation that characterizes sex with a child under the age of 15 as rape and punishable by up to 20 years in jail earlier this year, bringing its penal code closer in line with many other western nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">French media has said the investigation was launched after a swimmer who trained with Yannick Agnel in Mulhouse from 2014-16 filed a lawsuit. L\u2019\u00c9quipe newspaper said several swimmers, current and retired, have already been questioned as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympic-champion-yannick-agnel-arrested-on-rape-charges-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the French news outlets<\/a>, the investigation stems from a complaint from a swimmer who trained with Agnel in Mulhouse between 2014 and 2016.
