On the night of November 4, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Kheira Hamraoui was attacked by two masked men in an effort that seemingly aimed to injure her legs. Less than a week later, her teammate Aminata Diallo was taken into custody for possible involvement in the attack. Aminata had since been released and was likely not involved, but a new suspect emerged. 


Two days earlier, on November 2, Chinese professional tennis player Peng Shuai accused a former Chinese vice premier of sexual assault in a social media post.
