We reported yesterday how the Moroccan international defender was questioned by prosecutors in connection with accusations from a 24-year-old woman.
Now Hakimi, 24, has been subsequently charged, prosecutors told AFP.
The alleged attack happened when he reportedly invited a woman to his home while his wife and kids were on holiday on February 25.
A 23-year-old woman told police this weekend she had been raped by the PSG player but did not wish to file a complaint.
She told officers she only wanted to “make a statement of rape”, but prosecutors are now personally pursuing the case.
They launched an investigation due to the seriousness of the allegations and the notoriety of Hakimi.
According to Le Parisien, the ex-Real Madrid, Dortmund and Inter Milan ace began talking to the woman on January 16 on Instagram.
He allegedly then invited her to his home in Boulogne on Saturday, reportedly ordering her an Uber to transport her.
Hakimi’s wife – actress Hiba Abouk – is currently holidaying in Dubai with their young two sons.
His accuser claims that after arriving at his home, the footie star began kissing her on the mouth while lifting her clothes.
She alleged he kissed her breasts despite her protesting, before digitally penetrating her without consent.
The woman told police she finally managed to free herself after kicking Hakimi with her foot, before texting a friend to pick her up.
He has not yet responded to the allegations.
The Morrocan ace met his wife Hiba in 2018 when he was at Dortmund, seeing her relocate from Madrid.
Twelve years his senior, she made her name in Spanish crime drama El Principe, and like Hakimi she is a devout Muslim.
The pair share similar stories – she was born in Madrid to parents who had emigrated from Tunisia.
They got married in a secret wedding in 2020 before welcoming their first son, while their second child was born in 2022.
Back in October, with the World Cup on the horizon, they appeared in a stunning shoot in Vogue Arabia.
Hakimi was credited for helping his national team reach the historic semi-final sport in the 2022 tournament.
