Babacar Sarr (born 15 February 1991) is a Senegalese football midfielder who last played for Damac FC, and an international fugitive wanted for failing to appear before courts in Norway on accusations of rape.

Career

Club

Sarr started his professional career at Icelandic team Selfoss, before being loaned out to French side CA Bastia in 2012.

In December 2012, Sarr signed a four-year contract with Start.[1] He made his Start debut 17 March 2013 against Hønefoss, helping his team to a 3-2 win.

On 13 July 2014, Sarr signed for Sogndal,[2] playing there for two seasons before signing for Norwegian side Molde.[3] Sarr was released from his contract with Molde by mutual consent on 18 January 2019.[4]

On 5 February 2019, Sarr signed for Yenisey Krasnoyarsk.[5] On 3 March 2019, in his Yenisey debut, he scored a late equalizer in a 1–1 game against FC Rostov.[6] Following Yenisey's relegation from the Russian Premier League at the end of the 2018–19 season, Sarr was released by the club.[7]

Just hours after Norwegian police declared him internationally wanted,[8] Damac of Saudi Professional League announced his signature on 11 June 2019.[9]

Personal life

Whilst playing for Sogndal, Sarr was accused of rape on an end-of-season players’ trip to Stockholm in 2015, though Swedish police did not press charges against the player. Sarr was later accused of four more rapes whilst a player of Molde (with one of the women giving birth to his child), but was acquitted by the Molde district court in August 2018. However the prosecution appealed, and a second round of criminal proceedings was scheduled to start on 14 February 2019. Sarr also refused to give blood sample in order to aid the inquest.[10] The case was postponed for eight months on 14 February 2019.[11] Sarr is currently wanted internationally by Interpol for failure to appear in court and as a suspect in another rape case[12].
