The Grand-Yoff district police station referred tailor MS to the Dakar High Court on Thursday for attempted rape and sexually assaulting a minor, according to Seneweb sources close to the prosecution. Aged 36, he was arrested last Tuesday at the Scat Urbam, where he was caught about to sexually abuse the woman named MDD.

That day, this 10-year-old student was approached by the suspect around 8 a.m., a few meters from her Franco-Arab institute. Forced into a dead end, MS ordered the unfortunate MD D to undress. The girl complied, crying. The tailor also took off her clothes. But the girl's cries of distress alerted the school security guard. To be sure, he went to the scene to inquire about the situation. It was there that the security guard caught the man groping MDD.

Caught in the act, MS punched the eyewitness to clear his path. A scuffle ensued, during which the suspect managed to escape. As he ran, he stumbled before being arrested by the security guard, with the help of local residents.

Informed, the elements of the Grand-Yoff police research brigade immediately went to the Scat Urbam where they took the suspect to the police station.

Questioned by Commissioner Khouma's men, tailor MS unequivocally admitted the facts, informing the investigators that he was not in full possession of his mental faculties. Without any supporting evidence.
