Tariq Ramadan has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Washington, USA, in the latest in a string of damning allegations against the prominent Islamic scholar.
According to French newspaper Libération, the complaint, which refers to an alleged incident dating back to 2013, was filed last month with Washington police. The complainant, a 30-year-old Muslim American, now lives in Kuwait and has requested to remain anonymous.
Mr Ramadan, an Oxford University professor whose grandfather founded Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood movement, was detained on February 2 over charges he raped two women in France, which he denies.
Last week, a third woman, who wants to remain anonymous and uses the pseudonym “Marie”, claimed to have suffered multiple rapes in France, Brussels and London between 2013 and 2014.
