A high school teacher has been jailed for 15 years for defiling and impregnating a 17-year-old Form Three student.

Senior Resident Magistrate Catherine Mburu found George Mwangi guilty of the offence committed on September 16, 2015 and sent him to jail. Mwangi, who was the girl’s teacher and neighbour, was accused of luring her to his house on the pretext of caring for his mother who was suffering from arthritis.
