Four men appear in early February before the juvenile court of Senlis, suspected of having sexually assaulted Shaïna when she was 13 years old.
Initially indicted for gang rape, the case was finally corrected.
The public prosecutor had requested up to a year in prison.
At the juvenile court in Senlis,
On the benches of the defendants as on those of the civil parties, all remained stoic when they heard this Tuesday morning the president of the children's court of Senlis, in the Oise, state her judgment.
Three of the four young men – minors at the time – tried for sexual assault and violence in meetings in August 2017 were sentenced to suspended sentences of up to one year in prison.
Only the victim, Shaïna, then barely 13 years old, is absent.
Two years after the events, the teenager was stabbed and then burned alive in a small shed in Creil, 500 meters from her home.
The respondent, her new boyfriend, will appear later.
The fourth defendant was released, "the materiality of the facts" could not be established, said the magistrate.
“I am not 100% satisfied, says the serious mine, the shining eyes, Shakill Hansye, the father of Shaïna, at the exit of the courtroom.
They have been sentenced but the sentences are so low, they will be able to carry on with their lives as if nothing had happened.
I know very well that they are minors and that this must be taken into account, but they have soiled my daughter.
The heaviest sentence, a one-year suspended prison sentence, was pronounced against her former boyfriend, Ahmed, 14 years old at the time of the events.
The young man, pale complexion, hair held back in a short ponytail, down jacket and black jogging, is described as the "leader".
According to the complaint filed by the teenager, the latter lured her into an abandoned hospital, threatening to reveal naked photos of her.
On the spot, he demands sex.
While she refuses, two other teenagers arrive and participate in the violence.
According to her story, they hold her down, undress her then subject her to digital penetration and then with a tube of Labello.
Initially indicted for gang rape, the three teenagers were eventually fired for sexual assault.
“I am satisfied that the truth has finally been restored”
Although a video, added to the file and broadcast during the hearing, shows Shaïna, partially naked, trying to hide her sex under insults and blows, the defendants have constantly denied, claiming on the contrary to have repelled the girl's insistent advances.
“Shaïna dragged on for two years and even well after her death a reputation as a liar, I am satisfied that the truth has finally been restored, confides Me Negar Haeri, the family lawyer.
But I am furious that it is still difficult to believe her, that we denounce the fluctuations in her speech, without taking into account the mechanisms of amazement when she has always been constant on the essentials.
The prosecution had requested against the young man as against Ahmed, two years in prison, including twelve months firm.
The public prosecutor also claimed fifteen months, nine of which were firm for the two accomplices, who were finally sentenced to an eight-month suspended sentence.
Sentences that the court justified by the young age of the defendants and the fact that none had a criminal record.
They faced up to three and a half years in prison.
"We were not as heard as we would have liked to be," insists Yasin Hansye, the victim's older brother.
This sentence puts an end to the rumors about my sister but these individuals left without being afraid when there was evidence, that they contradicted themselves a lot…”
"Shaina didn't lie"
But the eyes of Shaina's relatives are already turned towards the next legal deadlines.
Ahmed is implicated in a second procedure, still under investigation: he is suspected of having beaten Shaïna in May 2019, five months before his murder, in particular because she had "dared" to file a complaint.
“This trial is a first step, but the line of sight remains the trial for his assassination,” insists his father.
Shortly after the discovery of the teenager's body, in October 2019, Driss *, then 17 years old, was indicted and remanded in custody.
As in the other two cases, he never ceased to deny the facts.
One of his friends, however, told investigators that he had confided in the evening of the murder.
“I smoked it…”, he would have declared, the sneakers stained with blood.
The decision concerning his referral to an assize court for minors should be known later this month.
"These cases being linked to each other, even if they are legally distinct, the fact that we recognize that Shaïna did not lie, that she was constant is a very important element for us for the future", insists the family lawyer.
