A 56-year-old man from Mwereerwe village has been imprisoned for 15 years over aggravated defilement.

Kampala High Court Judge Wilson Kwesiga passed judgement Mohammed Ssenyonjo defiled an eight-year-old girl.

“Defilers like him need such punishment to keep them away from society, ” said Kwesiga.

“The victim has been subjected to mental trauma for the rest of her life.”

The prosecution proved that on August 2007, Ssenyonjo tricked the girl, who was on her way to buy soap, that he also wanted to send her to buy cigarettes.

He grabbed her hand and carried her to his house where he defiled her. The court heard that the victim reported the matter to her mother who reported it to the Police.
