A court in Kenya has sentenced a 32 year old man to one year in prison for allegedly touching another man’s buttocks.

The man identified as Christopher Kinyanjui appeared before Magistrate Philip Mutua.

Kinyanjui was found guilty of unlawfully and intentionally touching his neighbor inappropriately.

The Kibera-based court sentenced the 32-year-old to one-year imprisonment or pay a fine of Ksh.50,000.

The man, who hails from Kanyariri in Kiambu County, had charges dating back to July 11, 2014 where he was accused of sexually abusing a victim who was a casual worker.

He denied the allegations and was acquitted by the court on the grounds of lack of sufficient evidence to prove the case
