The French Secretary of State for Development, Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, targeted by complaints of rape, rejected the accusations on Friday, judging them "unacceptable and revolting".

"The serious accusations against me, relating to medical clinical examinations carried out in order to diagnose and treat the illness of my patients, are unacceptable and revolting," she said in a statement sent by her lawyer.

Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, a 46-year-old gynecologist, is the subject of two complaints for rape and a third complaint for violence without incapacity for work by a person responsible for a public service mission.
