Diamaguéne: A 42-year-old man exposes himself and attempts to rape a 15-year-old girl

A case of attempted rape and pedophilia is shaking the Sam Sam 3 district. On August 18, 2026, AS Kane went to the Diamaguéne Sicap-Mbao district police station to file a formal complaint against EH Sow, accused of attempting to abuse his minor daughter, F. Kane, aged 15.

The events unfold in a precise chronology. The accused carefully spied on the family home, waiting for the occupants to leave. Only young F. Kane was present, washing clothes in the compound.

Taking advantage of this isolation, EH Sow acted. He first exposed himself to the teenager before forcibly grabbing her and throwing her onto the bed in her parents' bedroom.

When questioned by investigators, EH Sow (aged 42 in 2026), a trader residing in Sam Sam 3, gave a version of events deemed unconvincing by law enforcement.

When questioned about his motives, the suspect attempted to downplay the seriousness of the situation. He stated that he entered the victim's mother's room solely to "tease" her. During his interrogation, he also admitted to proposing to the young F. Kane that she become his girlfriend, while categorically denying any attempt at rape, according to Seneweb sources.

The police investigation led by Commissioner Cheikh Tidiane Diallo, head of the Diamaguéne Sicap Mbao district police station, revealed the suspect's actions in the aftermath of the attack. The investigation uncovered that, after the incident, EH Sow attempted to cover up the affair by sending emissaries to the victim's parents to negotiate their silence.

At the end of his custody and the conclusion of the investigations, the suspect was brought before Prosecutor Saliou Dicko, head of the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor's office, on Tuesday, who will decide on the legal proceedings to be taken in this case.
