The court at the trial of Geddes was availed of his brutal sexual abuse to women which he often recorded , at his home, in his car or at the tennis club.
Ms Cauchy started working with Geddes at Sarcelles Tennis Club, Paris, in 1999 at the age of 12, when she was France second junior player.
According to Cauchy, within few months of working with him, the the abuse began, with he telling her:
"You know it happens sometimes in relationships between coach and student, we spend a lot of time together, it's normal.'
Cauchy narrated that at the beginning, Geddes would take her to see Paris Saint German FC play at their home ground, but noted that the relationship quickly became abusive over two years, alleging that he raped her 400 times.
She told the Palais Bourbon how Andrew Geddes raped her three times a day during a two-week period at a training camp.
She said:
"I lived the worst two weeks of my life. I thought many times about committing suicide. He raped me three times a day. The first night he asked me to go to his room and I didn't do it, then he came into mine. I was in prison".
While describing how he had manipulated her so much that she started to voluntarily visit his room at night, she said:
'The evenings after, it seems crazy, but I went there on my own, and I took those 13 steps that separated me from his room,' she explained.
She revealed that Geddes emotionally manipulated and gaslighted her, convincing her that he had given her AIDS.
'He came to tell me one day: "I have AIDS, that's for sure, I gave it to you." At the end of the 1990s, it was something that was much scarier than now, it paralysed me. I lived from 13 to 18 years old thinking I had AIDS. But he lied to me, just to destroy me. It was perhaps even more destructive than the rape,' she told France Info.
