A middle-aged barber has been sentenced to 30 years imprisonment for defiling a 12-year old girl.
The suspect was found guilty of repeatedly defiling the young girl on diverse dates in 2022 in Busia County.
Therefore,the Prosecution called a total of 6 witnesses whose testimonies proved the perpetrator indeed committed the heinous act on the minor.
The girl in her testimony told the court that the accused would always defile her whenever she went to his barber shop to shave her hair.
Busia Resident Magistrate Serem in her judgement noted that the prosecution through Faith Kaberia presented exhibits that reaffirmed the offence was committed.
She further added that the sentence was informed by the age of the victim in comparison with that of the accused.
Additionally,the magistrate said the accused knowingly ignored the age of the victim.
He took advantage of his services to defile the girl and still appeared undeterred.
