Juba, South Sudan
June 10, 2022 — A South Sudanese family has sued a foreign female teacher for allegedly molesting a three-year-old girl in Juba.
The incident reportedly happened in March.
This comes after the unidentified toddle reported the alleged wrongdoing to her parents who then took her for medical examination.
Medical results prompted the mother to report the matter to the school administration but the unnamed school reportedly denied the allegations.
In a statement seen by Nyamilepedia, Suhila Deng, a lawyer of the complainant said she opened a case on June 3rd and a court hearing of the case is adjourned to June 14th.
“A 3-year-old child has been assaulted and molested by a teacher in school. I cannot give details because it will affect my case.” she said.
“It’s true, a case has been opened in the court and the sitting will be on the fourteenth.”, Deng added.
Deng was one of the lawyers who handled the case of the slain 5-year-old Abuk Lual in Aweil, Northern Bahr el Ghazal last week.
