A director behind bars, a community in shock. Since November 2024, Julien Pierre Weynachter, director of the “Jacques Mimran” school in Richard-Toll, has been languishing in prison, charged with child pornography and pedophilia. A sordid affair that Liberation has been brought to light, exposing chilling details and a disturbing institutional silence.
A network discovered since Richard-Toll
According to the revelations of Liberationit was a careful investigation carried out by the Special Cybersecurity Division (DSC) that brought down Weynachter. Experts have identified a suspicious IP address, linked to sharing of child pornography content, coming from the Cité des Cadres of the Compagnie Sucrière Sénégalaise (CSS). The technical evidence quickly led to the arrest of Weynachter, 54, a French national and director of the area’s school.
During the search, the police discovered a staggering amount of child criminal content on his phone. But the most frightening thing lies in the potential involvement of the accused with children he would have encountered in the course of his duties.
Deafening silence and community turmoil
In the City of CSS executives, the shock is immense, and questions are abounding. Why did the school administration not react or communicate on the matter? “Unbearable opacity,” confides a parent of a student on condition of anonymity, adding: “Our children were under his responsibility. This silence is a betrayal. »
Meanwhile, the judge of the third cabinet in Dakar entrusted a judicial delegation to the DSC to continue the investigations. A priority: identify the alleged victims and establish whether Weynachter may have abused children.
A defense in difficulty
If relatives of the accused claim that the latter denies the accusations of pedophilia, the material elements found in his phone complicate his defense. Furthermore, Liberation highlights a key question: “Who are the children filmed?” » A question with serious consequences, as the investigation expands.
Lessons to be learned for education and the community
Beyond the legal procedure, this case raises crucial issues for the protection of children. Educational institutions must strengthen their monitoring systems and react with transparency when a scandal breaks out.
While the Weynachter affair shakes the Richard-Toll community, eyes remain focused on the ongoing investigation. For many, it’s not just about judging one man, but about restoring broken trust within a traumatized community.
Liberation concludes its investigation with a clear warning: “The safety of children must never be left to chance. » A lesson which, we hope, will not go unheeded.
