Kilifi man arrested with minors in group sex

KENYA: A 35-year-old man and a group of underage girls were arrested in Mtwapa, Kilifi, after they were found engaging in group sex.

Six girls believed to be between the ages of 13 and 16 and the suspect were arrested yesterday in a house at Mikanjuni.

According to the police, two pornographic films and condoms were found in the house.

Police said the suspect, Mohamed Ramadhan, had lured the minors into sex after watching pornographic films with them.

Coast Regional Police Commander Francis Wanjohi said the suspect was found in his house watching a pornographic video with the girls.

"Mr Ramadhan was arrested by police officers with two underage girls between the age of 14 and 17 watching pornographic films. We suspect that he was luring the girls into sleeping with him," said Wanjohi.

A policeman in the operation told The Standard that four other girls slipped away as officer's burst into the house.
