The ruling was read on Monday 16th May 2022.

The court revealed that the decision was reached on grounds of evidences provided by the Prosecution noting that Ishimwe must be remanded for the sake of fair justice awaiting trial in substance.

Ishimwe is facing three charges related to sexual abuse against some of participants of Miss Rwanda beauty pageant which he organized for long.

These include rape, soliciting or offering sexual favours, and harassment connected to sexual relations.

The court has however said that there is no evidence pinning him to this crime.

On offering sexual favours, the court said that the accusation should be maintained since the suspect does not make clear how he would induce happiness to one of girls accusing him.

The court also resolved that the allegation of harassment related to sexual favours must be maintained considering the fact that the suspect went for a trip with a girl and called her during night hours asking for sexual relations.
