The civil party is not completely satisfied with the verdict of the criminal chamber. Adji Sarr, the plaintiff in this case, was in tears when Ousmane Sonko was acquitted for rape and death threats.

“My client, like me, is not totally satisfied, she would have liked Mr. Ousmane Sonko to be sentenced to the expected sentence as long as sexual contact is not rejected,” said Lawyer El Hadji Diouf.

Adji Sarr’s lawyer recalled that Ousmane Sonko is convicted of youth corruption.

« When you abuse a girl’s youth to sleep with her, it’s like rape. If you flaunt your power in front of a young girl to gain access to her private parts, it’s like rape,” explained Lawyer Diouf.
