Pippa Middleton may have only married her husband, James Matthews, last year but she’s already being dragged into some of the Matthews family drama.

According to The Sun, Middleton’s father-in-law, David Matthews, was just arrested for allegedly raping an underage girl in France in the 1990s.

Matthews was arrested on Friday night in Paris, under the suspicion that he attacked a teenager sometime between 1998 and 1999 while visiting the country for pleasure.

The Sun says a relative of the victim reported the case on Tuesday, and Matthews was subsequently arrested and charged with the “rape of a minor by a person with authority over his victim.”

Paris judicial police, members of the Juvenile Protection Brigade, are handling the case as of now. Matthews has categorically denied all accusations.

David Matthews is the father of Pippa’s new husband James Matthews. The two wed in May 2017. Pippa also is the younger sister of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.
