Touba: How Cheikh Diop and Khadim Diouf Transformed a 12-Year-Old Talibé into a Sexual Object

Two men, Cheikh Diop, 20, and Khadim Diouf, 34, were taken into custody in Touba for unnatural acts, rape, and the corruption of a minor. The victim, a 12-year-old Quranic student identified as A.A. Ndiaye, identified the suspects as the perpetrators of the abuse. A medical certificate confirmed injuries consistent with anal penetration. The investigation is ongoing amid a tightening of penalties for such acts in Senegal.
