She found Alex Otieno guilty of the offense committed early this year. The court heard that the teacher, who owns the school instructed the minor not to disclose the crime to anyone but she could not keep it.
The minor testified that the accused, who was her English teacher at Starlight Academy called her to his office to explain her unfinished assignment and that is when he defiled her. She disclosed the act to her friend who later told the victim’s mother.
The minor’s mother took the girl to the hospital where the doctor examined her and confirmed that she had been defiled. The accused in his defense said that the two had a mutual understanding before he committed the heinous act.
The magistrate in her judgment stated that the accused’s statement openly indicated that he had indeed defiled the girl.
“The admitting by the accused person that he had an agreement with the minor is an indication that he indeed committed the act,” said Nthuku
The court found Otieno guilty and sentenced him to 25 years in jail
