Pilot stands trial in Nyon for rape at Schumacher villa

An Australian former Formula 3 driver has gone on trial in Nyon, accused of raping a former nurse employed by the Schumacher family at the racing legend's villa in Gland in 2019.

The prosecution is seeking four years in prison and a ten-year ban from Swiss territory. 

The accused denies the charges, claiming the alleged victim invented the encounter. 

The case has drawn international attention given the location and the family involved.

A verdict is expected after several days of hearings at the Nyon criminal court.
