A 39-year-old carpenter, Djibril Faye, was arrested on June 16, 2026, in Grand-Yoff, Senegal, following allegations of rape by a 15-year-old girl. The teenager, identified as I. Mendy, claims Faye entered her bedroom while she was alone, locked the door, and sexually assaulted her. Faye denies the accusations, stating he never entered the room or abused Mendy. A witness reportedly saw Faye leaving the girl’s room adjusting his clothing, corroborating the victim’s account. Investigators have ordered a medical examination to verify the claims and are continuing to investigate the incident, which occurred in the Djiddah neighborhood of Grand-Yoff. Faye allegedly used a pretext of sending the girl to buy cigarettes to gain access to the home. He was questioned by police and maintains his innocence.
