After years of waiting and correspondence from the victims' families, a French language teacher in Beni Tadjit has been imprisoned to serve a final sentence of three years in prison. He was convicted of sexually assaulting a number of his underage female students, despite remaining free even after the initial, appellate, and supreme court rulings upheld the sentence.
Despite a final and binding verdict sentencing a French language teacher from the Figuig region to three years in prison for assaulting five underage female students, the victims' families say the convicted individual remains at large. They have sent an open letter to the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor at the Oujda Court of Appeal, urging the enforcement of the ruling and the delivery of justice for the victims.
