It’s the “talk of the village,” if you will. A religious man allegedly touched a young woman last weekend at a wedding in the village of Rose-Belle. The complainant, a 30-year-old accountant in a commercial bank, filed a complaint at the Rose-Belle police station late Thursday afternoon, December 2. In the early hours of Friday, December 3, the police arrested this religious man, who is 70 years old.
It is in the great detail that the victim, inhabitant of a village of the south, went to the police station of Rose-Belle this Thursday, December 2 to make the account of this marriage, which was transformed into nightmare for her. It is without any suspicion that she followed the religious man when he called her in a secluded place in the room where the wedding took place. Far from the eyes of the others, the septuagenarian took advantage of the situation to touch her.
The thirty-year-old was stunned before she understood what really happened. She did not expect that this religious man and moreover, of such an advanced age could commit such an act. After talking about this delicate matter to her relatives, she decided not to carry this heavy secret anymore. She went to the police station of Rose-Belle to file a complaint.
This Friday, December 3, the religious man was brought before the Court of Mahébourg. He is facing a provisional charge of indecent assault. As the police objected to his release on parole, he was kept in a police cell. The victim was examined by a forensic doctor during the day on Friday, December 3.
