‘He raped me three times a day!’ Terrifying confession of a former tennis player about a coach!

Angelique Cauchy was once an extremely talented French tennis player, and the 36-year-old has now spoken publicly about what happened to her as a teenager. She testified in the French National Assembly before the commission of inquiry, which was established in July to identify shortcomings in sports federations, the sports movement and sports governing bodies.

She spoke about her former coach, Andrew Geddes, with whom she started working in 1999 when she was 12 years old and ranked second in her category. Soon after they started working together, Geddes started harassing her. He forced her to have sex with him. The former actress revealed that the 55-year-old convinced her that he was “this is a common practice between the player and the coach, as they spend a lot of time together.”

“I didn’t want it, he was my mother’s age. I thought about suicide many times. He raped me three times a day. The first night he asked me to go to his room and I didn’t, then he entered mine,” Cauchy testified, adding that Geddes raped her a total of 400 times in two years.

She was not the only one, Geddes’ victims were three other girls aged between 15 and 17. As Cauchy testified, Geddes’ behavior towards girls was even known in the tennis world, but when she once complained to the president of the club, he replied: “Yeah, but it brings us headlines.” It’s not true, but it is…

Geddes was already sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2021 for sexually harassing four girls aged 12 to 17.
