Rabat- Saad Lamjarred’s alleged victim has let the French media in on the sexual assault and its aftermath.
Laura Prioul declared to BFMTV that her life has been a constant struggle ever since she filed a complaint against the Moroccan pop singer, Saad Lamjarred–as evidenced by the attacks against her on social media.
The alleged victim claimed that she had to face hateful comments which portrayed her as the villain of the story on daily basis, “they say that I did it for money, that I trapped him, and that I did it for the fame,” she explained.
Prioul didn’t stop there. As she moved to the set of the “C’est Que de la Télé” show on the French channel C8. A video tweeted by the show depicts her talking about the night when the rape allegedly took place.
“I tried to fight back…but the more I fought, the more blows I received,” she confessed.
In another video excerpt, Prioul claims that she and her family have received serious death threats which prevented her from working in certain areas in France out of fear. However, the alleged victim said that she did not let the threats or the cyber bullying stop her from speaking up about her case.
Prioul said that the case isn’t only about her, but it is first and foremost about all the women who have been through similar ordeals.
Saad Lamjarred was previously the subject of another rape case in 2010, where an American-Albanian, Armella, accused him of rape and violence. The Moroccan singer fled the States when he was temporarily released.
