Touba marabout accused of repeated sexual assault against 15-year-old girl

The girl's mother had entrusted her to Guèye for 50,000 FCFA to treat nightmares following her father's death. The alleged assaults occurred in November 2023. The teenager testified that she was subjected to seven assaults, one of which caused significant bleeding.

A medical certificate corroborates her claims, indicating tears and loss of the hymen. Guèye denies the allegations, claiming a conspiracy by S. Diop, but admitted to being attracted to the minor and wanting to marry her, and to kissing her once for a selfie. However, during the preliminary investigation, he reportedly admitted to having sexual relations with the victim, claiming she was not a virgin.

The trial before the Diourbel Criminal Chamber was adjourned to July 28 after a heated exchange between the judge and the defense lawyer, Me Cheikh Ngom.
