    Two French rugby players have been released from house arrest in Argentina, but must remain in the country while they await trial on charges of aggravated sexual assault in Mendoza

    Two French rugby players have been released from house arrest in Argentina, but must remain in the country while they await trial on charges of aggravated sexual assault in Mendoza


    20-year-old Hugo Auradou and 21-year-old Oscar Jegou were arrested last month after a 39-year-old woman filed a complaint accusing them of raping her.

    The incident is alleged to have occurred at a hotel after the trio met at a nightclub.

    If found guilty, the players face a minimum sentence of eight years in prison.

    They have denied the allegations.
