Police in Busia has arrested Juma Stephen, a 38-year-old father, and a resident of Buyodi Village, Limino Parish, Busia District, for defiling his two biological daughters, aged 13 and 15 respectively, during the month of December, 2019. 

The suspect allegedly defiled his 13-year-old daughter, in the morning of 19/12/2019, and later asked his 15-year-old daughter to escort him to the garden to pick mangoes.

He also defiled her in the garden and left her behind crying.

The victims reported to their mother, who never took any action but instead informed her father – in – law who also concealed the matter.

“It is very painful for people who are supposed to teach their young children how to go about life, to be the ones taking advantage of them,” said Police spokesperson CP Fred Enanga.

He added that; “The abuse of the victims is a betrayal of trust and exploitation by a father, grandfather or any other guardian. Instead of protecting the girl child they exposed them to harm.

“We would like to thank the victims and concerned citizens for their bravery in reporting the acts of sexual violence to police. 

“We are deeply committed to thoroughly investigating these grave acts of sexual violence against children, and has tasked the department of Gender Based Violence at CID headquarters, to fast track the matter, and ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.

“We would like to remind to all local council leaders that most acts of sexual abuse and grooming are initiated by persons known to girl victims. 

“We call upon them to always be vigilant and closely monitor girl victims in abusive settings and alert the police.”
