Franck Ribery, Karim Benzema 'to go on trial for sex charges today'

Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema will today reportedly stand trial for allegedly paying for sex with an underage prostitute in Paris.

The trial involving France internationals Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema on allegations of solicitation with an underage prostitute will reportedly begin today.

Bayern Munich's Ribery has been accused of paying prostitute Zahia Dehar for sex in 2009, while Real Madrid forward Benzema, who denies the charge, is alleged to have liaised with Dehar one year before when she was 16 years old.

The trial will begin in Paris and is expected to last until June 26, when, if found guilty, the pair could be sentenced to three years in prison or fined £40,000, according to the Daily Mail.

Dehar claimed that neither men knew of her real age at the time.
