If convicted, the Moroccan national faces up to 15 years in prison.
The case stems from an alleged incident on February 25, 2023.
According to Le Parisien, a 24-year-old woman told police she met Hakimi on Instagram in January of that year.
After a month of exchanges, he reportedly ordered her an Uber to his home in Boulogne-Billancourt while his wife and children were away on holiday.
Once inside, the woman claims Hakimi kissed her mouth and breasts through her clothes, despite her protests.
She alleged he then assaulted her without consent.
According to her account, she managed to push him away with her foot before fleeing and texting a friend to pick her up.
She went to a police station the same day to 'make a statement of rape,' though she initially declined to file a formal complaint.
Messages she later provided to investigators reportedly showed her distress following the encounter.
Achraf Hakimi shows what he is made of at PSG training
On March 3, 2023, Hakimi was charged with rape by an investigating judge and placed under judicial supervision after being held in custody.
He has consistently denied the allegations.
The footballer, currently holidaying in Puerto Rico with former teammate Kylian Mbappé, previously claimed the case was a plot against him.
'The truth is that when you are successful and things are going well, you become an easy target for certain people and that taught me that you can't trust many people around you,' Hakimi said this January in a interview.
'They wanted to blackmail me and that's why we filed a complaint and it's going well. The justice system handled things rather well.'
His lawyer, Fanny Colin, slammed the prosecution's latest move.
'These requisitions are incomprehensible and senseless in light of the evidence in the case,' she told Le Parisien.
'It establishes the plaintiff's lies, particularly through the psychological assessments conducted on her.
'Achraf Hakimi and I remain as calm as when the proceedings began.
'If these requests were to be followed, we would obviously pursue all avenues of appeal.'

British couple held in Iran over spy charges speak to family after 213 days
Craig and Lindsay Foreman, in Isfahan, before being detained by the Iranian police (Picture: AFP) A British couple have finally been allowed to speak with their family for the first time in 213 days after being charged with espionage in Iran. Lindsay and Craig Foreman, from East Sussex, were detained in January after crossing from Armenia during their global motorcycle tour. The pair deny the allegations, and their family insist they are not spies. Their son Joe Bennett, of Folkestone, in Kent, revealed he had an eight-minute call with his mother – after not having confirmation if she was even alive. He told the BBC: 'We laughed, we cried, and for a few brief moments, it felt like the weight of the past seven months lifted.' Sign up for all of the latest stories Start your day informed with Metro's News Updates newsletter or get Breaking News alerts the moment it happens. Mr Bennett said his parents were 'holding strong,' adding that they remain 'resilient, positive, and somehow, they are still smiling.' He stressed that the call had been a 'real boost' for everyone, but said it was still a 'very traumatic time'. During the phone call, it was revealed that Mr and Ms Foreman had been separated and were being held in what their son described as 'Iran's worst prisons'. The couple have now been separated in two prisons (Picture: AFP) He also told BBC Radio Kent that British officials saw his father was 'dishevelled and had lost a lot of weight'. Meanwhile, his mother is not walking well due to the conditions inside the jail. The update on their plight comes as the Iranian regime executed as many as 29 prisoners in just four days, including one woman. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advises British and British-Iranian nationals, who are at significant risk of detention, not to travel to the Middle Eastern country. A spokesperson said: 'We are deeply concerned by reports that two British nationals have been charged with espionage in Iran. 'We continue to raise this case directly with the Iranian authorities. 'We are providing them with consular assistance and remain in close contact with their family members.' Iran hangs 29 prisoners in 4 days - who are they? Iran's official news agency reported on Wednesday, August 6, the executions of Roozbeh Vadi, 40; Mehdi Asgharzadeh, 35; Ali Rajaei, 33; Reza Sharifzadeh, 35; and Mojtaba Izadi, 35. The last three were executed in Isfahan. Tuesday, August 5, saw the executions of five prisoners: Ali Showkat, 34, in Saveh; Ali Hosseinpour, 35, and Mohammad Abakhti in Karaj; Farzad Yari in Malayer; and Jahanshah Iravani in Semnan. On Monday, August 4, eight prisoners were hanged: Mohammad Golestani, 30; Bahman Pirouzaei, 30; Davoud Najibollahi, 40; and Reza Sarparast, 30, in Mashhad; Matin Shahbazzadeh, 24; Hessam Moloudi, 29; and Enayat Semsari, 36, in Tabriz; and Hamid Soroush in Nur. On Sunday, August 3, 11 prisoners were executed: Meysam Joudi and Sajad Pourdanesh in Karaj; Eghbal Abdali in Ilam; Hassan Ramazani, 28, and a woman in Khorramabad; and five other prisoners whose names were announced in a previous statement.

Wayne Rooney's son Kai, 15, jumps THREE age groups as he's called up to Man Utd u19s pre-season tour
Several other players across the Under-15s and 16s are set to feature Over the Roon Wayne Rooney's son Kai, 15, jumps THREE age groups as he's called up to Man Utd u19s pre-season tour Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KAI ROONEY has received a last-minute call-up to Manchester United's Under-19 squad for a prestigious tournament in Croatia. The 15-year-old forward impressed during the Under-16's run to the final of the youth Super Cup NI - more commonly known to fans as the Milk Cup. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Kai Rooney has been called up to Man Utd Under-19s tour of Croatia Credit: Instagram @kairooney.10 7 Buzzing Rooney shared a picture to his Instagram story 7 Kai can operate like a No9 or on the wing like his old man, Wayne did Credit: Getty 7 But he has a long way to go to emulate his legendary father's United legacy Credit: Getty Kai, who can operate both on the wing and as a No9 like his dad Wayne, scored and assisted in United's opening game in Northern Ireland. He played a starring role as United went undefeated in their group before losing 1-0 to Southampton Under-16s in Sunday's final at the Coleraine Showgrounds. Wayne and Coleen were in the crowd as Saints wonderkid Jude Daniels stole the glory before whipping out Wazza's famous knockout celebration. But despite being on summer break from school, Kai has been invited to compete in an international tournament against opponents three years his senior. The teen has travelled with United's Under-19 squad to face Europe's finest academy sides in the Mladen Ramljak Tournament in Croatia. And buzzing Kai shared a picture from his digs featuring a swimming pool with a scenic city view, captioning the Instagram story: "19s tournament soon." The young Red Devils have been placed in Group A with Juventus, Rapid Bucuresti and Dinamo Zagreb. Their first game is against Romanian side Rapid on Thursday. United have told SunSport that several other players across the Under-15s and 16s will feature too. Meanwhile, the academy sides of Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Bologna and Shakhtar Donetsk make up Group B. Man Utd vs Newcastle: Sesko bidding war begins | Transfers Exposed There are high hopes for Kai at United after he followed in his iconic dad's footsteps by signing as an 11-year-old in 2020. But he has a long way to go in emulating Wazza's record-breaking total of 253 goals from 559 appearances at Old Trafford. Kai isn't the only young exciting United prospect in Croatia - in fact someone even YOUNGER earned his plane ticket months ago. 7 The club had already called up 14-year-old JJ Gabriel - the whizzkid who has been dubbed the "Kid Messi" after taking the Under-18s by storm last season. Gabriel, signed by Nike at the age of 11, became the youngest player to feature for the Under-18s in April after making his debut against Leeds United, scoring twice after coming on as a substitute. The centre forward turns 15 in October so will be eligible to play in the Prem, with Arsenal rival starlet Max Dowman also in line with a shout. Both Gabriel and Dowman are in with a chance of becoming the youngest player to ever grace the top-flight. The current record is held by Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, who was 15 years and 181 days when he played against Brentford in September 2022. 7 JJ Gabriel is another star expected to feature on the tour

Son Heung-min completes move to Los Angeles from Tottenham in MLS record deal
Son Heung-min has ended his 10-year stay at Tottenham after making the 'hardest decision ever' to leave for Los Angeles FC in a record Major League Soccer transfer. It was revealed on Saturday that Son would depart Spurs following 173 goals in 454 appearances and months after he captained the club to Europa League glory. After an agreement between Tottenham and LAFC was struck for a deal in excess of £20million, the 33-year-old arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday and a day later he has finalised his transfer, which is the highest fee paid by an MLS club for a player. In a post to Spurs fans on Instagram, Son, who has signed an initial two-year deal with LAFC with options for a further two, wrote: 'How to find the right words for this? I don't know. I have been thinking for days. It's impossible. But here I go. 'It's time for me to say goodbye to Tottenham Hotspur. My home for the past decade. When I arrived in 2015, I didn't speak English, I didn't know London, but you welcomed me with open arms, believed in me, and stood by me through every high and low. 'I was just a boy from Korea with big dreams who was supposed to have no chance. And now, 10 years later, North London is in my heart forever. Dear Spurs fans… Sonny's letter to you 🤍 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 6, 2025 'I've made friends for life here, had the honour of becoming a godfather here, and had the privilege of captaining our special club here. I've poured my heart and soul into this club, which makes this the hardest decision ever. 'I thought if I was ever going to leave, it would have to be on my terms, on the best terms, when our mission had been accomplished together. With pride and honour.' Son joined Spurs in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen. After a tough debut campaign the South Korea captain went on to become one of the club's best ever players and made himself a Premier League great in the process. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Son HeungMin(손흥민)🇰🇷 (@hm_son7) Alongside old partner in crime Harry Kane, Son holds the record for the most goal involvements by a duo in the Premier League, with the pair assisting each other on a record 47 occasions in the competition. The Chuncheon-born attacker also won the league's Golden Boot award in the 2021-22 season after scoring 23 times and he sits 17th in the list of all-time scorers in the division with 127 goals. Under former boss Mauricio Pochettino, Son's consistent displays helped turn Tottenham into genuine title contenders but silverware continued to allude them after a second-placed finish in 2017 was followed by a Champions League runner-up spot two years later. Whilst various members of Pochettino's team left not long after the Argentinian's winter departure in 2019, Son stayed to work under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte before he was tasked with leading a new era by Ange Postecoglou. Postecoglou named Son as his captain in the wake of Kane's high-profile switch to Bayern Munich and Hugo Lloris' departure from the first team and after a roller coaster two seasons under the Australian, they achieved the holy grail together on May 21. Son was consigned to a place on the bench in Bilbao for the Europa League final against Manchester United following an injury-affected campaign, but was introduced to make his final competitive appearance for Spurs to help them win 1-0 and end a 17-year wait for silverware. It etched Son's name into the history books as he became only the fourth captain in Spurs' history to lift a European trophy after Danny Blanchflower, Alan Mullery and Steve Perryman.
