Paris Trial of Soccer Players Accused of Sleeping With Underage Prostitute Begins Again
The now 20-year-old and former call girl withdrew as a civil plaintiff
A teenage call girl said to have illegally slept with two of the highest paid stars in European football 'no longer considers herself a victim', a criminal court heard today.
Zahia Dehar was just 16 when she allegedly started accepting cash from a range of famous players, including Frenchmen Franck Ribery, 30, and Karim Benzema, 26.
Both men – whose combined wages amount to some 17 million pounds a year - face up to three years in prison if they are found guilty of having sex with an underage prostitute.
