French international footballers Franck Ribery and Sidney Govou in prostitute scandal - Telegraph: "Ribery, 27, and Govou, 30, were summoned before an examining judge following allegations that a Paris nightclub was employing under-age girls.
Many multi-millionaire football stars are said to be regulars at the club, with at least one said to have had sex with a prostitute under the age of 18.
Grim tale of a Dutch child prostitute that has put exploitation back up the political agendaUnder French law this is an offence which carries a sentence of up to three years in prison.
The unnamed player has admitted sleeping with the girl, but said he believed she was an adult at the time.
A so-called 'pimp' said to have organised girls for players has been arrested, and a number of young women are being questioned too.
Judge Yves Dando said he was speaking to Ribery and Govou solely as witnesses, but their involvement in a sex scandal will come at the worst possible time for France."
