Pierre-Charles Boudot, France’s reigning champion jockey on the Flat, was charged with rape on Wednesday by French prosecutors investigating allegations made by a female work-rider after a party during a race meeting at Cagnes-sur-Mer in February.
Pierre Bazire, also a jockey, faces a charge of failing to report a crime in connection with the same allegations, while an unnamed individual was also listed, along with Bazire, as a “witness to intimidation of a witness”.

A statement issued by the office of the public prosecutor in Senlis, which includes France’s major racing centre at Chantilly, said that Boudot had been released on bail of €50,000 [£43,000] and is barred from entering the department of Oise, of which Senlis is a part, under the bail conditions. He had been remanded in custody to assist with the investigation since Monday.
Boudot won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Waldgeist in 2019 and won the French Flat jockeys’ title in 2015, 2016 and 2020. He set what was at the time a new record for winners in a season in France with 300 victories in 2016, and rode a double on the main card at last season’s Breeders’ Cup meeting in Kentucky on Aidan O’Brien’s Order Of Australia and Audarya for James Fanshawe after the original jockeys booked for both horses tested positive for Covid-19.
It was unclear on Wednesday evening whether France Galop, racing’s ruling body in France, would respond to the news of the charges against the champion jockey, or move to suspend Boudot from riding until the investigation is complete. He had been expected to ride O’Brien’s colt St Mark’s Basilica, the probable favourite, in the Poule D’Essai Des Poulains, the French 2,000 Guineas, at Longchamp on Sunday.

after all this time, wondered what happened to him, see he is a work rider for Aidan O'brien, often riding Henry Longfellow.
“Listen, obviously, he’s a big help, (he has) a lot of experience, and everything’s going good.”
Yeah..no need to fact check that won..it’s definitely Aidan.

The name was mentioned in the triumph of Henry Longfellow yesterday. What came of the charge? Is the investigation still on-going?
A new stage in the case of Pierre-Charles Boudot
After many months of investigation and court appearances, the Senlis public prosecutor's office yesterday issued an order concerning Pierre-Charles Boudot, dismissing the first case against him and referring him to the Oise departmental criminal court in the second. An important but not decisive step forward for the crack jockey, who has been suspended for more than four years.
More than four years after France Galop suspended him on 14 May 2021 following his indictment in two alleged rape cases, the Pierre-Charles Boudot affair is finally beginning to move forward. After many months of investigation, the Senlis public prosecutor's office handed down its final indictment on Friday 4 July. While the first case, a complaint dating back to 2015, was dismissed, the second case, in which the triple Cravache d'Or was charged with offences dating back to 2021, was referred to the Oise Departmental Criminal Court. This is an important step in the judicial process, but in no way foreshadows the final outcome, as these requisitions have now been passed on to the examining magistrates, who are in charge of leading the investigation, and who may or may not follow the conclusions of the public prosecutor's office. Contacted on Saturday morning, Pierre-Charles Boudot's lawyer, Olivier Baratelli, gave us the following details: ‘The document handed down yesterday is called the ’final indictment of the public prosecutor".
It is a step-by-step document, which is only the prosecution's view of a case, and is not binding in any way on the examining magistrate, who is free to decide one way or the other, and who must then issue a regulatory order. In this case, we consider this final indictment to be important because it shows that the first complaint was unfounded, and that it merely reflects a spiteful love affair or revenge. As for the second complainant, it is impossible to believe her claims. The investigating judges met the young woman and, by confronting her with her contradictions, were able to assess the implausibility of her story and her lack of credibility. All the witnesses are formal, and Pierre-Charles Boudot's defence has absolute confidence in the decision that the Senlis investigating judges will take". Although the judicial process always takes too long, both for the plaintiffs and the defendants, things should speed up from now on, even if the summer period is synonymous with judicial vacations, because the investigating judges' decision following the prosecution's requisitions is generally taken within a fairly short timeframe.

Incredible how long this has been a part of the lives of all concerned.
Tomas Party of Arsenal is now facing the same, he’s been booed all season by those who knew the rumours.. Now he’s an EX Arsenal player and the club are being criticised for letting him play.
Whereas plenty have stood by the Jockey and given him work without much criticism.

4 years is a long time; only the 2nd alleged offence still in question, the 2st had been dismissed. How old is the accused?
