Footballer Papiss Cisse’s first wife told yesterday how they falsified their son’s birth date on documents — so no one would know he got her pregnant at 13.
Adjia Siny Thiaw, who was 14 when she gave birth to the Newcastle striker’s son in Senegal, said they lied to make it look as if she had been over 16 — the age of consent.
She said: “We changed his date of birth so Papiss would not get in trouble. Paedophilia is a serious offence and it would have been bad for his career.”
Cisse, 16 when Adjia was pregnant, married her in 2013 — 11 years after son Ousmane’s birth.
They never divorced — meaning Cisse’s May marriage to Senegalese volleyball star Diallo Awa in France was bigamous.
It broke the law in both France and Senegal. The maximum sentence in both countries for bigamy is 12 months’ jail.
Cisse could have faced up to ten years if convicted of underage sex when his son was born. But too much time has lapsed for police to now bring charges.
