More than eight children are defiled every day in the North Rift region, with 50 per cent of the cases being perpetrated by close family relatives or guardians.
A case in point is a father from Kapseret sub-county, Uasin Gishu County who was sentenced to 20 years in jail for sodomising his six-year-old son, and nine-year old daughter, and infecting them with them with HIV and Aids.
