Africa-Press<\/a> – Mauritius<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>It was rampant on Facebook and looking for its prey on social networks. Pascal Desroches, 31, was arrested by the police on Saturday. This homeless man, who sleeps in a night shelter in the capital, was arrested at the Gare du Nord.<\/p>\n

He allegedly abused three young girls this year. He joined his victims at their dates in a suit and tie. He confessed during his interrogation. Pascal Desroches stole the laptop of an MITD student in Ebene to gain access to social media.<\/p>\n

On August 21, the 27-year-old returned from his lessons at around 11 a. m. and walked towards Rose-Hill. Arrived at the height of the Mauritius Society for Animal Welfare (MSAW), a man asked him the time.<\/p>\n

The thug then pulled out a knife and threatened the student. He bit her hand and managed to steal her cell phone. Then, Pascal Desroches created a fake profile in the name of Sandoval Risley to make “friends” to whom he made an appointment.<\/p>\n

He allegedly sexually abused a college girl on September 28. He waited until the 14-year-old left school. The minor was walking down rue P\u00e8re Laval, in the Beau-Bassin region, when he took out a cutter and said “res trankil pa fer okenn zes ou mo touy twa”.<\/p>\n

Panicked, the young girl followed him. They took a bus and got off at St-Jean, to go to a cane field in Eb\u00e8ne, where he allegedly sexually assaulted the young girl.<\/p>\n

The minor managed to escape. She asked for help from volunteers who took her to the Quatre-Bornes police station. Three weeks ago, with the same modus operandi, he allegedly raped a young girl in Ebony.<\/p>\n

It would have cracked down again on Friday. He waited for a 21-year-old woman at Trianon. When the young woman, who lives in the South, got off the bus, Pascal Desroches reportedly took out his knife.<\/p>\n

He ordered her to follow him to Emerald Park. In wasteland, he allegedly abused her. After his crime, the suspect fled, leaving the young woman to her fate.<\/p>\n

The security guard of a shopping center in the area helped him by alerting the police. The investigation is being conducted by Sergeant Appi and the Rose-Hill CID under the supervision of Police Superintendent Bansoodeb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
