A man on trial for rape and assault says he did “something that was not good.”
A 28-year old Togolese man has gone on trial in France for raping and assaulting three young girls during exorcism rites related to voodoo.
He cut the girls on their legs and hands and poured a black powder into the wounds; afterwards he washed the girls’ genital areas.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the girls’ mother, who accepted the torture and rape of her daughters, is on trial as well for complicity.
The man faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
