Teacher arrested for defiling, impregnating pupil

 

Police in Rongo Sub County, Migori County are holding a teacher who was accused of defiling and impregnating his 14-year-old pupil.

Lawrence Wasonga, 28, who is a teacher at Tuko Primary School, is accused of defiling the minor on September 4, 2016, resulting in a pregnancy.

Confirming the incident, Rongo OCPD Kisaka Muganda said a villager saw the accused with the pupil in a classroom and reported the matter to authorities.

According to the police boss, the pupil admitted during interrogation that she had been in an affair with the teacher. A medical test later determined that the pupil had been defiled and was pregnant.

Meanwhile, the OCPD told lodging operators to stop allowing minors into the lodges, saying they would face the full wrath of the law if caught doing so.

Speaking to Radio Ramogi, Kisaka said he has received reports of school going girls being spotted in lodges; an act he says is unlawful.

He noted that police are currently pursuing similar cases, adding that they are going to apprehend lodging operators who allow minors into their premises.
