On Monday, September 20, 2021, during a court hearing in Nairobi, a 13-year-old boy testified that he had willingly had s*x with their househelp for eight months beginning in July 2020.
Because he is a juvenile, the boy's identity has been changed. He told the court how the househelp introduced him to s*x, which developed to an addiction.
“No, I wasn't forced into it,” he answered when asked if he was coerced into it. After we did it for the first time, I felt compelled to lower my p*nts and do it without being forced.”
After the househelp was granted financial bail in February, he testified in secret.
The child informed the Nairobi Principal Magistrate that he used to have s*x with the househelp, whose initials were V.N.W., three times a week. He claims they did it on those days between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m.
“She told me it was our secret and that I shouldn't tell anyone,” the boy bemoaned. “As a result, I never told my parents about it until I was discovered accessing pornography on my sister's phone.”
He told the court that he was usually aroused after watching pornography, and that they would have s*x in the kitchen and sitting room when everyone was sleeping.
After using the househelp's phone, the child stated to the court that he would steal his sister's phone to continue watching pornography.
He went on to say that the accused informed him that what they were doing was terrible, but he couldn't stop.
V.N.W was accused with defiling a 13-year-old child for eight months and exposing the juvenile victim to pornographic content in February 2021.
V.N.W was accused of committing the crime between July 2020 and February 2021 in Mwiki neighborhood, Kasarani, Nairobi County.
For allegedly exhibiting minor pornographic content, she was also charged with promoting a s3xual offence.
She was also accused of engaging in an indecent act with a youngster.
According to court documents, the incident was discovered by happenstance on February 21 as the boy's parents were disciplining him.
The boy's sister said she had misplaced her phone while at the residence. Her parents intervened after her adolescent brother and sister denied removing her phone after being questioned.
The parents interfered by beating up the youngster, who, unable to bear the pain, revealed that he had been watching pornography on the sister's phone after supposedly being exposed to the vice by the house help.
The boy's parents were alarmed, so they hurried him to a clinic for a medical examination and reported the event to the police.
The youngster told police that the house help started the abuse by showing him films of individuals having s*xual intercourse.
According to investigators, the grooming continued until the boy's home help began physically s*xually abusing him.
The suspect was granted a ksh300,000 cash bail or a ksh500,000 bond after denying the charges.
The case will be heard again on September 24, 2021.
