Supreme Court acquits Balthazar; clears him of all charges in explosive sex scandal
26th November 2024
The Supreme Court of Equatorial Guinea has handed down a landmark ruling in the sensational #BalthazarEngonga scandal, clearing him of all charges after the release of over 400 explicit videos sent shockwaves through the nation.
In a dramatic courtroom twist, the justices declared that all women featured in the videos were consenting adults, putting to rest allegations of coercion.
The court also confirmed that Balthazar had not transmitted any sexually transmitted diseases to his partners—a key detail that underscored his legal defense.
In an even more shocking development, some of the husbands of the women involved publicly expressed gratitude to Balthazar for revealing their wives’ secret lives.
Several of these men have since initiated divorce proceedings, further fueling the controversy surrounding the case.
Balthazar, however, is not content to let the matter rest.
Speaking after the verdict, he announced plans to sue those responsible for leaking the videos, accusing them of a gross invasion of privacy that has irreparably damaged his reputation, strained his marriage, and upended his standing in society.
The case has gripped the nation with its twists and revelations, sparking heated debates about the boundaries of consent, the ethics of privacy, and the moral questions raised by the public exposure of private lives.
As Balthazar’s legal team prepares its counteroffensive, this story seems far from over, promising to remain at the center of public discourse for months to come.
