Ramadan, a Swiss national, 57, has already been charged in France with raping a disabled woman in 2009 and a feminist activist in 2012. But they both say they were led into a brutal sexual relationship with Ramadan, one from November-December 2015 and the other in March 2016. "It was something other than physical rape, it went beyond that... there was a moral rape," one of the women said in her testimony seen by AFP. Le Journal du Dimanche said prosecutors believe the two testimonies contained "serious and concurring" evidence that could incriminate Ramadan. Ramadan was professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University until he was forced to take leave when rape allegations surfaced at the height of the "Me Too" movement in late 2017.
