Jacub Jahl: Drugging and Abusing Children in Africa

In August 2025, investigative journalist Assem Zhapisheva and her team traveled to Tanzania to document witnesses accounts concerning alleged sexual abuse against children involving Czech citizen Jakub Jahl – a story that has attracted public attention.
The documentary is based on testimonies from children, adults, and official records from Tanzanian social services. It includes dozens of interviews with victims, witnesses, neighbors, activists, and local officials. The tragic story of a girl named Violet (not her real name) became one of the central narratives of the film and a symbol of a global threat: if such acts remain unpunished, no child anywhere is safe.
According to witness accounts presented in the film, Jakub Jahl is alleged to have:
👉 held children against their will,
👉 subjected children to sexual violence,
👉 used drugs to control victims and silence witnesses,
👉 misappropriated funds raised in Europe under the guise of children’s aid.
The case is under investigation. No judgment has been issued in this case to date.
The film reveals how similar methods of abuse and corruption – misusing charities, manipulating politicians, intimidating witnesses, and exploiting minors – repeat across countries. This is presented as part of a broader, transnational concern rather than an isolated incident. The documentary encourages the international community to take action: to protect children, uncover the truth, and stop those who continue to operate with impunity.
