3 ans de détention et déclaré innocent : Pourquoi B. Fall, accusé de viol sur sa cousine de 13 ans, a été libéré
Young B. Fall now knows his fate. On Monday, March 23, 2026, the criminal chamber of the Thiès High Court delivered its verdict in the case of rape, pedophilia, and abduction of a minor involving his cousin, Ndèye Mour, who was under 13 years old at the time of the alleged offenses. Detained since 2023 and tried on February 23, the accused was acquitted on all charges due to reasonable doubt. The chamber determined that there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.
Systematic denials and medical doubt
In court, B. Fall categorically denied the allegations. He maintained that he had never had sexual relations with the young girl, arguing that these accusations stemmed from a family dispute between the two parents.
For her part, the minor maintained her statements before the court, claiming she had been assaulted twice in her grandmother's room, taking advantage of her mother's absence. The mother stated that she had noticed unusual changes in her daughter's behavior before taking her to the hospital.
The gynecological examination revealed an old rupture of the hymen. However, one element weighed heavily in the balance: the mother admitted that her daughter had initially identified another person as the alleged perpetrator before naming B. Fall.
The prosecution's indictment
The public prosecutor considered that the only established fact in this case was the loss of the hymen, attested to by the medical certificate. However, no formal evidence allowed for attributing this act to the accused. Following this analysis, the prosecution itself requested an acquittal based on reasonable doubt, a position ultimately shared by the court.
