A man accused of defiling an 11-year-old minor has been sentenced to life in prison after the court found him guilty.
Kevin Madete was charged with defiling the girl on unspecified dates in November 2019 in Nairobi County’s Southlands Kijiji Lang’ata Sub-county.
“Having considered all of the foregoing factors, I have no doubt and am certain in my mind that the accused person defiled PW1, and I have therefore sentenced him to life imprisonment,” she said.
He was also charged with engaging in an indecent act with the child in violation of the Sexual Offenses Act.
Several witnesses who testified in the case were called by the prosecution during the trial.
The minor, the investigating officer, and the medical expert were the key witnesses in the case.
The minor testified in court that the accused defiled her days after requesting that she drop him some groundnuts.
“I was playing outside with my friends when Kevin told one of my friends to give me groundnuts so I could bring them to his house for his own consumption,” she testified in court.
She claimed that the accused person lured her to his home, shut the door, and forced her to undress and defile her. She added that the incident left her bleeding.
