An assistant chief in Baringo North Sub County has been arraigned before a Kabarnet court charged with defiling and impregnating a standard seven pupil.
Thomas Chesang was charged that on diverse dates between February and August, this year, in Kasaka village, Kelyo Mosop Location he intentionally and unlawfully defiled the child aged 13 years.
The accused who appeared before Resident Magistrate Nerolyne Idagwa was charged with defilement contrary to section 8 (1) 2 of the Sexual Offences Act No 3 of 2006, which he denied.
Chesang also faced a second count of committing an indecent act with a child contrary to section 11(1) of the Sexual Act Number 3 of 2006.
The court heard that the accused committed the offense and immediately fled the area at once allegedly for fear of being mobbed by members of the community.
Prosecution counsel Joseck Abwajo told the court that the victim and her mother also left the area fearing that the chief might mobilize other people to frustrate them.
