A racing driver friend of Michael Schumacher’s son has been accused of raping one the F1 legend’s nurses inside their family home.
The unnamed suspect, believed to be an Australian racing driver, attacked the nurse who was caring for Schumacher as he recovered from a horrific head injury in a ski accident, in line with prosecutors.
The nurse had been carried to bed after an evening playing pool in Schumacher’s Swiss mansion in 2019, in line with broadcaster 24 Heures.
After relaxing and drinking vodka-based cocktails she complained of feeling unwell and was ‘carried to bed’ in a personal room reserved for workers during night shifts, the indictment reads.
They put her to bed ‘without undressing her,’ and he or she fell asleep.
The young man, who was staying round the corner, allegedly returned to the scene and sexually assaulted her twice as she lay unconscious, in line with the indictment.
The 2 other colleagues say they ‘saw and heard nothing’ however the victim noticed ‘material evidence’ the subsequent day.
In text messages, seen by prosecutors, she accused the Australian pilot who has didn’t get a F1 profession, of the attack but ‘tried to maneuver on’.
In fear of losing her job with the Schumachers, she reported the attack two years later in 2021.
The Schumacher family should not named in any respect and haven’t been invited to comment on the case.
No-one from the family was present on the time of the alleged sex attack, in line with prosecutors.
The Formula One legend’s health has been shrouded in secrecy ever since his skiing accident in December 2013.
He has not appeared in public since, and his family have protected his privacy at their Lake Geneva home.
But Felix Gorner, a reporter for German broadcaster RTL, revealed Schumacher ‘can now not communicate verbally’.
