New developments in Agnel’s case further stun the former swimmer. While RTL reported on Wednesday that another potential victim had been heard by the courts, L’Équipe newspaper published a lengthy story on Thursday based on a wiretap transcript and what Yannick Agnel told police in December 2021, at the time his arrest.
Although he initially denied the allegations made against him, namely sexual relations with Naoma Horter, the daughter of his former coach Lionel Horter, who was underage at the time of the events, he eventually confessed “in the face of multiple wiretapping,” writes the Daily. ” I had it on my conscience for a while, he said while in police custody. I made a mistake falling in love, I don’t know if it’s a mistake, we don’t really have control over these things. From the very beginning, I was very angry with myself because I wanted her to experience something normal. »
“You have nothing to do with your conscience”
The former athlete causes “impossible love”, consent and mutual touch, which, however, never reached the point of penetration. “I didn’t want her to suffer and feel bad about it,” Agnel said again. I was torn between excitement and dilemma because I didn’t think it was moral to do it when she was that age. “The investigation clarifies that” N. Horter claims that the penetration did take place and that Yannick Agnel wanted to continue, but stopped before his tears. »
The article also reveals mass wiretapping, in particular between Agnel and Sophie Kamoun, his agent, the central character in the story, which the former swimmer came to when he heard about the filing of a complaint against him in early December 2021. “You have to be super ready and I think the best line of defense is to say: Another shot from the Horter familyKamun told him. You can’t help but deny. There will always be doubts, there will never be proof. When Agnel hesitates to deny it, Kamun reformulates him: “You don’t give a shit, you have nothing to do with your conscience, she agreed! […] It will be on her conscience for the rest of her life! Accuse someone of rape when she agreed, oh! […] Are you kidding or what? “In L’Equipe, Kamoun evokes a spontaneous reaction in defense of Agnel, whom she considers to be her ‘second son’.
