The first instance court in the city of Oujda sentenced, Tuesday, a man accused of raping several children to four years in prison. The accused, who is in his fifties and works as a bicycle repairer, has been prosecuted for more than a year for «harrassing a minor and rape of children». The court ruled that the man gives 10,000 dirhams to each of the victims, in addition to a symbolic dirham to the National Child Rights Observatory. He is also expected to cover court fees. In August 2019, the prosecution received a series of complaints from parents from Douar El Blayek, in the suburbs of Oujda, accusing the man of raping their children aged 6 to 8.
