Jordanian migrant with 4 deportation orders sentenced to 11 years in prison for brutal ER rape of French woman

“Now I am afraid when I sleep. I am afraid of what will happen to me when I wake up.”


A Jordanian migrant, Faïd A., was sentenced to 11 years in prison, plus a ban on entering French territory, for the rape of an unconscious woman inside a hospital emergency room. The court found that his actions were premeditated.

The case began two years ago, on Oct. 27, 2022, when the 34-year-old victim was attending a party on the Seine after a day filled with job interviews. She became quite intoxicated after barely eating anything all day, and at around 1:00 a.m., she walked off a party barge, the Rosa Bonheur, and hit her head on the dock, losing consciousness. Two men approached to help, but one of them, 24-year-old Faid A., apparently looked at the woman “like a piece of meat,” according to the other man, who was the owner and also a bouncer at the party barge.

“He looked at her like a starving man. It was at that moment, while waiting for the firefighters, that I had an exchange with him, telling him to leave, because I knew very well what he intended to do. He smiled at me and told me that if I touched him, he would call the police,” said the owner, according to French newspaper Le Figaro.
