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 defence, 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.
