A man has been arraigned before the Thika Law Courts to face three counts of defilement involving a 12-year-old minor.
Kelvin Mungai Kariuki appeared before the court on Tuesday, where he denied all the charges.
According to the charge sheet, the accused is alleged to have committed the offences on separate occasions in Kiambu County. The charges include unlawful penetration and indecent contact with the minor.
The prosecution told the court that the incidents involved serious sexual offences against the victims, including acts of anal penetration and inappropriate touching.
The court released the accused on a bond of Ksh 400,000 with one surety of a similar amount and scheduled the hearing for March 5, 2026.
