The three men convicted of the gang rape of a mentally disabled minor in El Attaouia were sentenced on Wednesday evening in Marrakech to prison terms ranging from six to ten years. Despite a DNA test confirming the paternity of the victim’s child, the main accused received an eight-year sentence—lighter than the minimum penalty prescribed by the applicable articles of the Penal Code. The civil party has announced its intention to appeal.
Ordered by the Marrakech prosecutor's office after the birth of a child to a minor with a mental disability, a DNA test established the link between the newborn and one of the three accused men, who are being prosecuted for repeated rape of the 13-year-old girl. The NGO is requesting that this incriminating scientific evidence lead to an exemplary decision.
