Ex-MP to be charged with three counts of rape

The police have proposed charging former TOP 09 MP Dominik Feri with three counts of rape, according to a statement posted on Twitter on Thursday. Mr. Feri, who is 25, faces up to 10 years in prison because prosecutors are also pursuing him for the crime of rape committed against a 17-year-old girl.

The one-time TOP 09 politician resigned from his seat in the lower house in June last year after multiple accusations of sexual misconduct about him appeared in the media. He told the Czech News Agency on Thursday that he was prepared to prove his innocence.
