Viol sur 28 fillettes à Touba : le maître coranique Serigne Khadim Mbacké condamné à 20 ans de réclusion criminelle
The criminal chamber of the Diourbel High Court held a special hearing on Monday for Quranic teacher Serigne Khadim Mbacké. The accused categorically denied the charges of rape and pedophilia against 28 girls, 27 of whom were his students. During the court proceedings, the victims present in court maintained the statements they had made during the investigation and preliminary hearing.
But the Quranic teacher persisted in his denials, claiming a conspiracy against him. He alleged that some people disapproved of his leading prayers at the mosque. Serigne Khadim Mbacké accused an older woman of orchestrating this plot, he said, because he had rejected her advances.
The lawyers for the plaintiffs, including Michel Mahécor Diouf, François Senghor, Elias Sy, and Serigne Diongue, argued that the facts were established and demanded severe penalties for the accused. However, Cheikh Sy, the defense attorney, pleaded for acquittal.
In his closing arguments, the prosecutor requested a 20-year prison sentence. In its deliberations, the criminal court found the defendant guilty of all charges. He was sentenced to the term requested by the prosecution. Seneweb will provide a detailed account of the trial.
