sentence of 6 (six) months and an actual fine of CFA F
150,000 (one hundred and fifty thousand);
2) Civil action
Whereas pursuant to articles 230(1), 321(43) of the
Criminal Procedure Code, the claim for damages as a
result of an offence, shall be sought by those who
personally suffered the consequences thereof; that
reparations shall be sought during criminal hearing before
the submissions of the Legal Department;
Whereas Ijoy Manboy is victim of pimping and
assault and battery inflicted by A. A for which she was
found guilty; appearing in court, she claimed damages
parallel to prosecution amounting to CFA F 600,000 (six
hundred thousand); that when asked to justify her claim,
she provided no further explanations; that an examination
of the case file in court showed that her brother had sent
her CFA F 250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand); that
this money was to serve as instalment of the CFA F
1,200,000 (one million two hundred thousand) which she
had to pay to A. A with the proceeds of her prostitution;
that in addition, she asserted that A. A was withheld
money belonging to her amounting to CFA F 50,000 (fifty
thousand); that mindful of these facts, it would be proper
to find her claim partially grounded; that thence, it would
be proper to round up the amount for damages to CFA F
300,000 (three hundred thousand) ; that consequently, it
would be proper to order A. A to pay her this amount as
damages;
3) Costs
Whereas finally that pertaining to costs, article
321(94) of the Criminal Procedure Code provides that
accused found guilty as charged shall be fined and have
the costs ordered against them; that in the case at hand A.
A was found guilty of pimping and assault and battery;
that B.S and U.R pleaded guilty of aiding and abetting in
assault and battery; that it would be proper to order the
costs against them;
UPON THESE GROUNDS,
Ruling in a public hearing after full trial in a
criminal case in first resort;
