He has 18 years left to spend in the depths of his cell in the central prison of Port-Gentil, for the crime of rape of a minor under 18 years old. He is Jean Steve Bouassa Bouassa, an unemployed Gabonese aged 42 today. He is thrown into the gnouf to see two young girls aged 2 and 7 years old sexually abused.
It was on July 18, 2020, in the very small town of Gamba that the news item occupied the thoughts of the populations of this peaceful place. Jean Steve Bouassa Bouassa, being offered by his girlfriend custody of his niece FO aged 7, and their daughter AAS O aged 2, did not reject the offer given that his concubine was on duty that day- there and the mother-in-law being unavailable following a last minute hospitalization.
The grandmother leaving her hospitalization was surprised to hear from the mouth of her granddaughter FO, all the mistreatment they suffered at the hands of Jean Steve Bouassa Bouassa. Intrigued, the grandmother quickly grabbed her daughter, the accused’s common-law wife. To have peace of mind, she took the two girls to the local medical facility to get more information on these accusations. The verdict was final! The medical certificate concluded that the young FO had lost the hymen and as for the girl AB, the certificate noted lesions around the vaginal lips.
Bad news which led the young woman to file a complaint with the gendarmerie brigade of the said municipality. Jean Steve Bouassa Bouassa arrested by the police, said he simply brushed the vagina of little F. O, before hermetically refuting any act of touching his own daughter AB For him, he perpetrated this crime under the influence of alcohol. Consistent in his statements since the preliminary investigation, on the stand, he was clearer in admitting to having rubbed his penis on the vagina of the girl FS O, except on her daughter AAS
However, he was found guilty of the crime of rape of a minor under 18 years old, including a 12-year suspended sentence and a fine of 10 million FCFA for the crime once morest FSO. He was, however, acquitted for the acts of touching his daughter AB, since the medical certificate might not enlighten the Court.
