After being arrested yesterday, it doesn’t seem to get any better for Karim Benzema as he was charged with complicity in an attempt to blackmail over a sex tape after he admitted his involvement. For a reminder, the party involved in the sex tape is Mathieu Valbuena, international french soccer player who is also Benzema’s friend. The judge ordered Benzema not to make contact with Valbuena but his lawyer said he was innocent and if anything he was just trying to help a friend getting out of a tricky situation.
For now Benzema has returned to Spain where he plays for giant club Real Madrid and will have to come up with his legal team on ways to clear his name. If found guilty, he faces up to 5 years in jail.
