Police\nin Busia has arrested Juma Stephen, a 38-year-old father, and a resident of\nBuyodi Village, Limino Parish, Busia District, for defiling his two biological\ndaughters, aged 13 and 15 respectively, during the month of December,\n2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nsuspect allegedly defiled his 13-year-old daughter, in the morning of\n19\/12\/2019, and later asked his 15-year-old daughter to escort him to the\ngarden to pick mangoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\nalso defiled her in the garden and left her behind crying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nvictims reported to their mother, who never took any action but instead\ninformed her father \u2013 in \u2013 law who also concealed the matter.<\/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":"
