Moroccan Teen Rescued After 6-Month Captivity, Found Pregnant by Alleged Kidnapper
Friday 14 June 2019, by
A 16-year-old minor has just been freed from the grip of her "jailer" with whom she has been locked up for 6 long months. She would suffer from malnutrition and be 4 months pregnant.
This is one of the most dramatic stories just revealed by the newspaper "Assabah". A 16-year-old girl would have been sequestered for more than 6 months by a criminal in Sidi Rahal. He would be 27 years old and would be a drug and psychotropic dealer.
Her release was obtained at the end of last week by elements of the gendarmerie. The examinations she underwent confirmed that she was 4 months pregnant. In addition, she suffered from malnutrition.
"Assabah" explains that she has been prescribed medicines and a treatment to follow in order to regain her strength, especially since she is pregnant and has been sequestered for a long period.
The gendarmerie had only wanted to proceed with the arrest of this dealer, active between Dar Bouazza and Sidi Rahal, and who had flooded the region with psychotropic pills and drugs. He was the subject of a national arrest warrant. And, he was very careful, according to the same source, who says he was arrested on the day of Eid.
The search of his home led to the discovery of the young girl. She explained that he had seduced her, then raped and sequestered her. She is from Sidi Rahal. According to her, her parents are separated and she lives in difficult conditions.
