Riots outside Paris after police claim an officers alleged rape of black man was an accident

Snip......

Théo, the victim, was still in a hospital during the chaos, AFP reported, after an operation for severe injuries to his anus.

Doctors discovered that his primary injury had been caused by a police truncheon, one that had been forced inside his rectum during a violent encounter with multiple officers in Aulnay-sous-Bois, a suburb north of Paris.

Théo, a 22-year-old French youth worker whose last name has not been released, maintained that the injury — which required major surgery to repair — was inflicted intentionally and that he was the victim of a horrific sexual assault.

More than a week later, investigators have reached an entirely different conclusion: The violent sodomy was accidental and occurred when the officer’s expandable baton happened to slip into the victim’s anus.
