Court upholds 20-year sentence for teacher who defiled, impregnated 14-year-old pupil
A former teacher at Tembo Primary School will serve a 20-year prison sentence for defiling a 14-year-old pupil after exhausting all legal avenues to regain his freedom.
The accused filed a miscellaneous application two years later on October 25, 2023, seeking a rehearing of his sentencing.
Justice Samuel Mohochi in his ruling upheld the original sentence stating that the aggravating circumstances warranted a deterrent sentence and found no basis to alter the original judgment.
