Joey Mawson on Trial Accused of Raping Michael Schumacher’s Nurse

The court heard victim testimony, forensic findings, text messages, closing arguments and the verdict has been adjourned.

Overview

  • Prosecutors say the alleged assaults occurred in November 2019 at the Schumacher family mansion in Gland and opened a criminal case after the nurse filed a complaint in January 2022.
  • The complainant testified that she woke up naked on blood-stained sheets with injuries she said were painful and consistent with restraint, and hospital forensic reports were presented in court.
  • Mawson denied wrongdoing, told judges he believed the encounter was consensual and said he was heavily intoxicated, while the defence argued the nurse had been flirtatious that night.
  • Prosecutors read a series of texts Mawson sent to the nurse apologising for pain he said he caused, and in closing asked for a four-year jail term while the defence sought acquittal.
  • The case focused on witness testimony, medical evidence and messaging with no Schumacher family members implicated, and the Nyon court adjourned to deliver a verdict at a later date.
