A Kenyan lady, Judith Wandera, 24, has been imprisoned for 15 years
by a local court after she was found guilty of defiling a 16-year-old
boy.
Wandera was accused of defiling the minor on various dates, reports Standard Media.
A prosecutor, Nyakundi Mukaya, told the court that medical evidence
from a specimen collected from the duo confirmed that the woman and the
schoolboy were having an intimate affair.
He noted that the boy had been living with the accused for more than
four months. The court heard that as a result of the affair, the minor
dropped out of school and moved in with the accused before he was
rescued by police officers.
“The boy was rescued on July 7, 2017, and the accused was arrested by police officers,” said Mukaya. After the rescue, he said, the boy was taken to a correctional facility before he was released back to his parents.
The parents of the boy told the court that their son stopped taking
school seriously after he met the woman and they sought the intervention
of the police after the boy started living with her.
But in her defesce, Wandera said that she did not know that the boy
was a minor adding that he was a drug addict by the time they met. “We
met at a drinking joint one evening of April 2016 in Kondele where he
even offered to buy me drinks.
We exchanged phone contacts and started dating,” Wandera added that
she could not establish the age of the boy because he was also a boda
boda operator (commercial motorcycle rider) and only appeared “young
when he came to testify.”
“He had dreadlocks when we met and only appeared young after his
dreadlocks were shaved before he was brought to court to testify,” said
Wandera in her defense.
