Salim Berrada

Salim Berrada, a 40-year-old former photographer of Moroccan descent, is in the news for his appeal trial following a conviction for multiple sexual assaults and rapes of women he met through online platforms. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison for violating 15 women between 2014 and 2016, and has consistently claimed his innocence, asserting that the encounters were consensual. His case has drawn significant media attention due to the organized nature of his crimes and the troubling patterns of manipulation and coercion described by the victims.
