Algerian Footballer To Face Trial For Masturbating In Public

Algeria international, Farid El Melali, will be tried for indecent exposure, after allegedly masturbating in public, according to AFP.
The report say the Angers winger committed the act on the occasion of his 23rd birthday on Monday.
El Melali was questioned by police in Angers late on Monday, after his neighbours claimed they caught him exposing himself in front of a building where a woman was staying.
The forward confessed to police of having an “inappropriate attitude”, according to his lawyer, Sandra Chirac-Kollarik, and thought he was alone in the courtyard of the building.
“He wasn’t targeting anyone, and wasn’t aggressive towards anyone,” Chirac-Kollarik said.
The public prosecutor’s department said El Melali had committed a similar act in April, but the same victim was unable to identify the individual.
El Melali, who signed a new contract with the Ligue 1 club on Monday, was released, but will face trial in terms of an appearance prior to an admission of guilt.
His side, who he joined in August 2018, said they have taken note of his situation, and added that they “would wait for the decision.”
