A sexual predator was arrested with synthetic drugs by the police station of the 1st arrondissement of Thiès. According to a police note published on Saturday, the suspect was taken into police custody. The investigation continues to identify all potential victims.

The police station of the 1st arrondissement of Thiès arrested an individual for unlawful collection of personal data, possession of drugs (amphetamines), administration of harmful substances and rape.

The investigation was launched, according to the Police, following a complaint from a woman who was being blackmailed into the distribution of intimate content. The accused, after having filmed their sexual antics without the knowledge of the complainant, demanded new relations under the threat of transmitting the images to the latter’s husband.

“To abuse her, the suspect systematically administered a chemical substance hidden in a drink, causing her to fall asleep,” reports the same source.
