A 47-year-old sex predator who defiled and impregnated a 13-year-old girl in Neno district has been ordered to go to jail for 14 years.

A magistrate sitting at Mwadzi primary school said what Alick Chitsulo did traumatized and doomed the future of the STD 4 girl who will soon be a mother at just 13.

First Grade Magistrate, Magret Khobiri, hopes the 14-year-jail-term handed down to Chitsulo shall deter other would-be offenders.

Chisulo comes from Kalimedzako village in the area of Senior Chief Dambe in Neno district.
