Convicted Paris Attack Accomplice Claims Assault by Escort, Police Investigate

Jawad Bendaoud, victim of violence from a young woman? On Thursday, the Franco-Moroccan called the police around 9 p.m. claiming he had just been the victim of violence, reports Le Parisien. His alleged aggressor would be a 22-year-old escort girl he was housing in his apartment in the center of Corbeil-Essonnes for a few days. Before the police arrived, the young woman had already left the premises. According to the 37-year-old man, the alleged perpetrator of these acts of violence had seized a hammer to commit her crime.

Jawad Bendaoud, whose statements are "confused", according to the police, did not deem it necessary to file a complaint or to be taken care of by the firefighters. The Évry police station is in charge of conducting a flagrante delicto investigation to identify and arrest the escort girl.

In 2019, Bendaoud had been sentenced to four years in prison for "receiving terrorist criminals" after being acquitted at first instance in February 2018. Suspected of having provided a squat, in Saint-Denis, where the coordinator of the jihadist attacks Abdelhamid Abaaoud and his accomplice Chakib Akrouh had taken refuge after the attacks, the Franco-Moroccan has always claimed his innocence.
