Six Notre Dame ‘hero’ firefighters could face jail over ‘gang rape of tourist in Paris’
The group are accused of attacking a 20-year-old woman at their barracks
SIX firefighters hailed as heroes for battling the Notre Dame blaze face jail for allegedly gang raping a tourist in Paris.
They are accused of attacking a Scandinavian woman, 20, at their barracks three miles from the famous cathedral.
She told police she agreed to sex with a fireman after meeting in a bar on Friday but was attacked later by his pals.
The source close to the inquiry said: “The victim was found in a state of considerable shock and reported her ordeal.”
The six suspects, aged between 25 and 35, have denied various allegations.
President Emmanuel Macron invited 500 members of the Paris Fire Brigade to the Elysee Palace and, announcing they would receive gold medals, said: “The country and the entire world were watching us and you were exemplary.”
Gabriel Plus, a spokesman for the Paris Fire Brigade, said all the suspects had been suspended from duty.
He said the allegations were “against the values upheld by Paris firefighters who must be exemplary".
