Main Points
On 18 September 2026, the tribunal of Pikine‑Guédiawaye in Senegal sentenced Rokhaya Fall, better known online as “Rox la Chancelière,” to two years in prison, six months of which are to be served immediately. The court also imposed a fine of 100 000 FCFA and ordered Fall to pay 2 million FCFA in damages to Adji Mass Gaye.
Fall was convicted on charges that included association of malfaiteurs, computer‑based insults against Adji Mass Gaye, and death threats directed at Khadijatou Kébé. She was acquitted of other allegations, such as the distribution of images deemed contrary to good morals, which were reclassified as “speech contrary to good morals.”
The case had attracted attention on social media, where posts alleged insults, threats and privacy violations. The court’s decision closed the criminal proceedings, but it left unresolved the situation of Fall’s two sons, Lucas and Djibson, who hold German nationality and were in Senegal at the time of their mother’s arrest.
Lucas and Djibson remain in a legal and familial limbo, with no clear resolution following the verdict. Their status has become a point of concern for both the families involved and the broader community.
While the criminal case is now concluded, the broader implications for the children and the family dynamics continue to be debated.
