Moroccan Imam Arrested for Years-Long Sexual Abuse of Minor at Koranic School

Imam of the mosque and head of the Koranic school for several years, the individual, who would not be at his first offense, according to the statements of the president of the office of the Ligue des droits de l’homme in Ouazzane, was arrested following a complaint filed by the father of the victim.

Noureddine Othmane added that the child was brought to testify before the investigators, before a warrant was issued against his aggressor. The imam was finally arrested on Sunday in a cafe in the city.

Convinced that the fqih is involved in other assaults on minors, the president of the human rights league announced that he would shed light on this case.
