Adji Sarr’s Friend Gabrielle Kane Faces Consequences in Defamation Case

Gabrielle-Kane

Gambiaj.com – (DAKAR, Senegal) – In a dramatic courtroom showdown at the Dakar Court of Appeal, Gabrielle Kane found herself at the center of a contentious legal battle over defamation and public insults. Kane, facing allegations from Souleymane Ciss, was handed a suspended sentence and ordered to pay 2 million CFA francs in damages by a lower court.

Kane vehemently defended herself, denying accusations of defamation against Ciss, who publicly disowned his wife amid the controversy. She argued that her statements were based on prior media reports and her involvement with a young girl allegedly victimized by Ciss. Despite presenting a medical certificate suggesting assault, the judge contested its relevance to the case.

Throughout the proceedings, Kane accused Ciss of misconduct, claiming he coerced the girl into sexual acts. She justified her actions, citing a duty to expose alleged injustices. However, the court reminded her that accusations must be substantiated.

Ciss, rebutting Kane’s claims, maintained his innocence, asserting no medical evidence incriminated him. The Attorney General noted Kane’s lack of remorse but considered a potential appeal for reduced penalties.

The appeal’s deliberation and ruling, pivotal for both parties, is set for October 7, promising further legal intricacies in this highly charged case.
