Sex assault charges and acquittal On 8 July 2024, Jégou was arrested in Buenos Aires, Argentina on sex abuse charges. Jégou and fellow France national rugby teammate Hugo Auradou reportedly committed an act of sexual assault against a woman while staying at the Diplomatic Hotel in Mendoza, Argentina on 6 July 2024 while the Les Bleus tour was underway in the area.
In December 2024, both Auradou and his teammate were acquitted on the basis of questionable evidence presented by the defence including WhatsApp voice messages the plaintiff had sent to her friend joking and boasting about the encounter after the events took place. Both players maintained for the duration of the trial that while they did have sex with the plaintiff the encounter was entirely consensual.
