A friend of Michael Schumacher’s son, accused of raping one in all the F1’s legend’s nurses, has been named.
Australian racing driver Joey Mawson is alleged to have attacked the nurse who was a part of the round the clock medical team caring for Schumacher after he suffered a head injury in a ski accident.
The accused driver has since fled back to Australia but faces extradition back to Switzerland as ‘he has not been heard from in months’.
He didn’t appear on the opening of his trial.
Mawson, 29, who strongly denies the fees, repeatedly stayed at Schumacher’s Swiss mansion when he was competing in Europe.
The indictment reads the nurse had been carried to bed after an evening playing pool in 2019, in accordance with broadcaster 24 Heures.
After drinking vodka-based cocktails she complained of feeling unwell and was ‘carried to bed’ in a non-public room reserved for workers during night shifts, the prosecutors claim.
She was put into her bed ‘without being undressed,’ and he or she fell asleep.
The young man, who was staying round the corner, allegedly returned to the bedroom and sexually assaulted her twice as she lay unconscious, in accordance 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 did not 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 accordance 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’.
