presupposes the establishment of a material act consisting of the recruitment, transport, transfer, accommodation or reception of minors; the guilty intention being established on the basis of the accused's knowledge of the illegality of his act; Whereas in the case at hand, E.R.A is accused of having committed in Ouahigouya, during January 2019, in any case, less than 3 (three) years ago, trafficking in persons, in the case at hand the recruitment, transport, transfer, accommodation or reception of minors, namely D.S.E, M.A.F and U.M from Lagos/Nigeria to Ouahigouya/Burkina Faso for prostitution; that it emerges consistently from the documents in the case file and from the investigation at the hearing that she transported and accommodated the above-mentioned minor girls from Nigeria with a view to moving them into Burkina Faso to engage them in prostitution; that even if she claims that the girls consented to the said transfer with full knowledge of the facts, this cannot mitigate, much less make the offence within the meaning of Article 511-3 of the Code disappear; that she was fully aware that these acts were punishable by law, as she had already been convicted of pimping; that, as a result, all the elements constituting the offence of human trafficking are present against her and she should be found guilty of it; B- Sentence Whereas Article 511-4 of the Penal Code punishes the guilty of human trafficking with 5 (five) to (10) ten years’ prison term and a fine of CFAF one million (1,000,000) to five million (5,000,000); Whereas E.R.A has been found guilty of human trafficking; whereas she is, in principle, liable to these penalties; Whereas, however, article 217-4, paragraph 2 of the abovementioned code provides that in criminal matters, the court which recognises mitigating circumstances is authorised to reduce the prison term and the fine even below simple misdemeanour sentences; whereas in the case at hand, the accused has remained consistent in her statements since the preliminary investigation by acknowledging the charges against her, even though she tries to justify her act by invoking the consent of the victims; that, moreover, she was not successful because she was arrested before the victims engaged in prostitution; that she also promised to learn from this case in order to make amends while apologizing to the Court and to the victims; that to give her a last chance for her social rehabilitation, it is appropriate to sentence her to 12 (twelve) months actual prison term and a fine of CFAF five hundred thousand (500,000). C- COSTS Whereas within the meaning of Article 473 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the accused who is found guilty is also ordered to pay the costs; that in the case at hand, the costs are to be borne by E.R.A;
