The news was disclosed by RIB on April 25, 2024.

The spokesperson for Rwanda Investigation Bureau, Dr. Murangira B. Thierry, told IGIHE that "the doctor, a citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo, was practicing his profession in Rwanda."

Reliable sources informed IGIHE that this was not the first time the doctor had committed such acts, as "those who know him mentioned another girl he had done this to, but she chose not to file a complaint and ignored the incident."

The doctor has been arrested and is being investigated for the crime of sexual assault. This offense is punishable under Article 134 of the law which determines crimes and penalties in general.

If found guilty, he could face a prison sentence of not less than ten years but not more than fifteen years and a fine of between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 Rwandan Francs.
