Hours after 24-year-old Judith Wandera was jailed for 15 years for defiling a teenager, 16, Kenyans took to social media to express outrage over the sentence terming it an injustice.

Apparently, most of the social media users are unaware of the Sexual Offences Act and its sections thereof which Wandera  went against, leading to her conviction. Many of them have just been expressing their displeasure over the judgment and say Ms Wandera was handed a harsh sentence.
