Last year I went to give evidence in a fraud case in Thika and had to listen to 2 rape,nay,actually defilement cases before my case came up. One was a 70-something mzee and the other a 20-sth young shamba boy. Both (unrelated)had defiled different 4-yr old gals.

They never appeared remorseful at all and the cross-examination they subjected the witnesses including the investigating officers and nurses was really appalling, considering they had ruined young lives. Surprisingly and insultingly, those in court found their questions funny and very clever and laughed heartily at their wisecracks. I later came to learn such cases have been accepted as 'normal' due to their frequency. Yet the lives of the young ones they left in their wake will never be the same again.
While we are @ it, can all those AIDS NGOs plse tell people that raping a small girl will not cure u if you are HIV+ve!! Its the one reason our young daughters have been targeted.

Prevention is better than cure. Nail the old dirty 'astard!

@leona

don't worry I've nothing against any member & that will never happen.. we had a call to advice brav & we've not only done it but also helped pass a boring Tuesday... I curse grown up who molest & rape minors not forgetting mature ladies... but not every person who is accused is always guilty & we shouldn't be quick to condemn and judge those accused until all necessary evidence is obtained.. and that's all i tried telling brav until thuku wa thubu wa thubukia together with his niece aka jacy26 mob justiced me by baptizing me mzee..

@leona ''It's sad to see grown men preying on young girls.''

Alas, but the sword really cuts both ways Leona.
One very oft overlooked abuse is that of housegirls abusing small boys left under their care.
There was this case where a small boy was taken to a health centre in Lang'ata complaining of stinging pain while peeing,swollen glands,discharge of pus from his wee wee,etc and the doctors could not for the life of them establish just exactly what was ailing the little lad. I mean, all these were the classic symptoms of an STD but they discounted it because, this was a small boy and hey, where would he get it from since e was not sexually active? But the tests and facts stuck out, and the more they looked at it the more they became convinced it was...gonorrhea.
Careful, tactful questioning of the boy revealed how 'auntie' used to lift and put him while naked on top of an equally naked her when dad and mom drove off to work...yaani she had infected the kid even before the tot knew the name of his wee wee let alone the whole issue of sex. If she had not been infected, your guess is as good as mine how long this abuse of the little boy would have continued.
So the vd was both good and bad in this case - good coz it brought the abuse to light and stopped it. But bad that it happened to so to a person of so tender an age, and even then on their first experience. The parents were understandably devastated - but i cant recall waht happened to the female defiler.
Guys n moms, do plse take extra care of your boy child; housegirls are in a good no. of cases where boys unwittingly begin their sexual lives..

Report the stupid old man to the Authorities. Let him prove his innocence in the dock.Forget about the neighbour issue - Records show it's people who are well known to the kids who molest them.If he was a good neighbour he would protect your daughter not vice versa.
@ Intellig........ If that was my house girl.....The thought alone makes me hot under the collar.

@Intel
kweli,and i hope 'that old mzee' isnt that Makueni bugger on telly last night...@Brav,pliz confirm coz if it's him..they better move Makueni to Somalia or Timbuktu,before some of us do something we might regret later!
