When a refusal turns into a nightmare
The relationship between Ella Minella and Mouhamed Thiaw, which began barely a month earlier, quickly degenerated. The 28-year-old young man couldn’t stand Ella refusing one of his invitations. He then threatened to share their intimate videos to his thousands of subscribers on social networks, but also to send them to his loved ones, including his parents. Frightened by these threats, the influencer took the matter to court.
Controversial justifications
On the stand, Mouhamed admitted to having filmed their antics without his knowledge, justifying his act by distrust of the young woman. He claimed to have discovered a camera in her bedroom during their fourth date. “She feigned astonishment when I made the remark to her,” he said. According to him, filming their antics was a precautionary measure.
However, these videos were not used for personal purposes, but as a pressure tool. Mouhamed also admitted to having obtained the contact details of Ella’s parents and tried to use them to force her to meet again with him. However, he denied any explicit threats during his court hearing: “I never threatened her. »
Justice decides firmly.
The prosecution, convinced by the evidence, requested two years of imprisonment, including one year. The court, taking into account the seriousness of the facts, finally sentenced Mouhamed to two years in prison, including six months.
-An emblematic case of digital abuse
For L’Observateur, this case highlights the growing dangers of abuse linked to digital technologies, where privacy can be exploited to manipulate or intimidate. Influencers, often in the spotlight, become vulnerable targets when faced with malicious partners.
A strong message for the victims.
By choosing to bring this case to justice, Ella Minella sends a powerful signal to all victims of digital blackmail: it is possible to fight and have your rights respected. This legal decision marks an important step in the fight against digital abuse and the preservation of the dignity and privacy of individuals.
The Ella Minella affair reminds us that the era of social networks must not become a breeding ground for the exploitation of privacy. Justice, by firmly condemning Mouhamed Thiaw, reaffirms that such abuses will not go unpunished.
