A Curepipe private college is shaken by a scandal of rare violence. A 14-year-old boy claims to have been forced to perform an indecent act. The scene, filmed by his comrades, spread on social networks, causing a shock wave.
On Wednesday June 10, the student enrolled in Grade 8, accompanied by his grandfather, filed a complaint at the Curepipe police station.
