In Kenya, a 17-year-old form three student has been charged for defiling 14-year-old girl whom he was having an affair with. The incident is reportedly to have happened after the girl sneaked in for a sleep over.
Both teenagers live with their parents in Korogocho slums, Nairobi.
The boy reportedly committed the offence on June 20, 2020 in a house where he sleeps with his young brother.
The two teenagers had reportedly met hours before to plan their night escapade.
The girl’s brother discovered she was missing from their house at 3am and informed their parents.
The two were later caught in bed at around 5am.
The boy’s mother took him to Police Station and attempted to engage the girl’s family in reconciliation talks.
The accused denied the charges before the Makadara Law Courts and was freed on bond. Hearing of the case starts on September 9, 2020.
While still in Kenya, in a related story, a local court acquitted another 17-year-old boy who was charged with defiling his 15-year-old girl.
The magistrate who presided over the case said both are children in need of care and protection by their parents and recommended counselling for both.
