Whereas P.S.M declares to have been dismissed from his
duties as Director of SOS School following accusations made to
the school founders by D.L, against him, for sexual harassment; that
he recruited the latter for the 2016-2017 school year in the capacity
of teacher, whose contract he renewed the following year, but when he
refused to renew it a second time, she falsely accused him of sexual
harassment and claimed that in order to teach in the school, every
female teacher had to have sexual relations with him first; that as he
rejected her application for renewal due to her unjustified absences
and late-coming coupled to her indecent dressing; regarding the
complaint made against him by D.L for sexual harassment, P.S.M
unequivocally refuted the acts of which he was accused and said he
had nothing to say concerning DJINEKAMA Lucie’s statements
purporting that they had sexual relations;
D.L on her part states that ever since she was recruited, she has been
a victim of sexual harassment and touching by P.S.M who was the
school Director; that on several occasions, he made her advances
which she refused, but whenever she went to his office on a daily
routine to have her preparation notebook stamped, he touched her
and asked her to caress him; that often, he ran to the door before
her and locked it, then dropped down his trousers and asked her
to caress his private part; that each time, she was forced to
struggle to get out; she admits having had sexual relations with
P.S.M during the month of July 2017, which was the condition for
the renewal of her contract for the 2017-2018 school year; that for
the year 2018-2019, not having passed her integration test in the
civil service, she wanted to renew her contract in the said school
but P.S.M still posed sexual intercourse as a condition for renewal;
that not having accepted the condition of P.S.M, the latter simply
dismissed her;
Continuing the investigation, the judicial police
interviewed several witnesses, including Mrs. SAMPEBGO Angèle
who declared that she began her internship on 7 January 2016 at
SOS Enfants school under the directorship of P.S.M; that while
there, he made her advances which she turned down; that
during holidays when she asked him if he would renew her
contract, he got angry and told her to come back later and did not
renew it;
The new director of the school, BARRY Mamadou Michel said
that D.L had confided in him that she had been a victim of
sexual harassment by their director, and he also learned that
other teachers had been dismissed because they refused the
former’s advances;
On her part, BADINI Mariam, recruited for the 2017-2018
school year, said she had never received any advances from
Director nor sexually harassed by him;
PARE Henry Bonaventure also recruited for 1 school year,
2017-2018, testified that apart from D.L, no other woman
ever told him that they had been victims of sexual
harassment by their director;
