An Australian racing driver has been cleared of raping Michael Schumacher’s nurse at the F1 legend’s villa, after a court found insufficient evidence of the alleged crime.
Joey Mawson, 30, was accused of raping the nurse twice on November 23, 2019, while he was staying at a mansion owned by 57-year-old Schumacher in Gland, near Geneva.
Mawson vehemently denied the allegations, and previously stated that the sex was consensual.
In a judgement on Friday, the court ruled there was ‘insufficient evidence’ to convict Mawson and he was allowed to leave a free man with ‘no stain on his character’, the judge said.
