The questions about Franck Ribery, Karim Benzema and Sidney Govou come as France awaits its World Cup team to be named, in about three weeks. Ribery is the unquestioned star of the French team, who in 2007 signed for about $30 million to play for the Bayern Munich team.
The AP reports no charges have been filed. Prostitution is legal in France, but clients are liable if the prostitute isn't over 18 years old, the AP says, and offenders face up to three years in prison and a $60,000 fine.
The woman in question, Zahia Dehar, now 18, has told police she had underage sex with all three players, according to the Daily Telegraph. The English newspaper reported her saying she was "shocked" the players faced charges and that she told them she was an adult. She also the players had treated her "with utter respect" and should be left alone.
The Daily Telegraph says Dehar was one of 18 girls questioned by police after a raid last week on the Caf Zaman, a nightclub on the Champs Elysee. Police said she has cooperated and doesn't face criminal charges.

The police probe into a suspected prostitution ring at a Paris nightspot has cast serious doubt as to whether France soccer players Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema will be named to the team's World Cup squad.
Ribery has already testified, and Benzema is set to be questioned over alleged sexual relations with an underage prostitute operating out of a trendy Paris club.
With France coach Raymond Domenech set to name his squad in about three weeks, the sex scandal could not have come at a worse time for the beleaguered team.
