A school director in the city of Smara has been placed in custody as part of an ongoing investigation into the sexual exploitation of a minor, authorities said.
The case took a new turn after the child provided detailed descriptions of the location where she was allegedly abused, which investigators later confirmed on site, according to people familiar with the probe who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Investigators suspect the director exploited the girl inside his official residence, with the alleged facilitation of a woman who arranged meetings with other suspects in exchange for money.
The examining magistrate at Smara’s primary court ordered the director held pending further investigation, a move observers described as a sign of the judiciary’s determination to pursue such cases with seriousness.
Rights groups have urged authorities to identify all individuals involved or complicit in the case and to ensure accountability, stressing the importance of protecting children’s rights and safeguarding community values.
