Sex pest put away for life for defiling seven-year-old girl

He is said to have lured the complainant with sugarcane after which he locked up the minor in his small hut before defiling her.

A man convicted for defiling a minor aged seven will spend the rest of his life in jail after he lost an appeal seeking the sentence reduced.

High Court Judge William Musyoka in his judgement said the appeal filed by Emmanuel Japala Eliakim challenging the conviction did not raise serious grounds to warrant the sentence being reduced or set aside.
