Convicted ULB Campus Rapist Faces New Trial for 2017 Student Assault

Yassine B. is being referred to the criminal court on the basis of a direct summons from the public prosecutor’s office, according to Dernière Heure. This time again, the complaint comes from a student who accuses the defendant of having abused her as she was leaving a party at the Jefke, on the ULB campus, in September 2017. She says she got into the defendant’s vehicle, who presented himself as a taxi driver. He took her to his home in La Louvière and raped her, according to the daily.

Yassine B. remained faithful to his modus operandi. He targeted intoxicated female students, returning from boozy parties, and offered to drive them home, posing as a Collecto taxi driver. The current victim had immediately filed a complaint and gone to the hospital for a medical examination and DNA sampling. The police, lacking elements to identify the perpetrator, had closed the case. It was only after the arrest of the accused that they were able to make the connection.
