The\npolice in Butambala has in custody, a 70-year-old male adult, Kiwanuka Haruna\nfor the aggravated defilement of his 4-year-old, grandchild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nincident occurred on the 3\/02\/2020 at 6:30pm, at Bulaawa village, Kalamba\nSubcounty, Butambala District, where the grandfather to the victim, called her\nbehind the latrines and asked her to lay on her back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nsuspect then removed his trouser and defiled her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nvictim narrated the ordeal to her mother who immediately reported the matter to\npolice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nscene was well documented and samples recovered from the scene for comparison\nwith that found on the victims\u2019 clothes and body, and from the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nvictim was further examined on PF3 and its appendix and subjected to PEP as a\npreventive measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\nis very painful for people who are supposed to teach their young children how\nto go about life, to be the ones taking advantage of them,\u201d said Police\nspokesperson CP Fred Enanga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\nadded that; \u201cThe abuse of the victims is a betrayal of trust and exploitation\nby a father, grandfather or any other guardian. Instead of protecting the girl\nchild they exposed them to harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\nwould like to thank the victims and concerned citizens for their bravery in\nreporting the acts of sexual violence to police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\nare deeply committed to thoroughly investigating these grave acts of sexual\nviolence against children, and has tasked the department of Gender Based\nViolence at CID headquarters, to fast track the matter, and ensure the\nperpetrators are brought to book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\nwould like to remind to all local council leaders that most acts of sexual\nabuse and grooming are initiated by persons known to girl victims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\ncall upon them to always be vigilant and closely monitor girl victims in\nabusive settings and alert the police.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
