A Swiss appeals court has found noted Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan guilty of rape and sexual coercion nearly 16 years ago, sentencing him to a year in prison.
The court in Geneva handed Ramadan a three-year prison sentence; two years were suspended, and he must pay damages totaling over 100,000 Swiss francs.
The verdict included intimate details of Ramadan allegedly forcing the woman to have sex and preventing her from leaving a Geneva hotel room.
This decision comes after a lower court previously cleared Ramadan, marking a significant turn in a case that has gained international attention.
