A 70-year-old pastor has been found guilty of sodomizing a 17-year-old minor inside his house.
Mpeketoni Resident Magistrate Pascal Nabwana in his judgment said that the prosecution evidence was well collaborated and strong enough to warrant John Muchine of the Christian Worship International Ministries, to be convicted of sodomizing the minor who is of unsound mind.
“The accused is found guilty of the offence of defilement, contrary to section 8(1) as read with section 8(4)of the sexual offences act number 3 of 2006, the accused is therefore convicted of the same under section 215 of the criminal procedure code(CPC)cap 75 of the laws of Kenya,” Nabwana said.
The complainant testified that the accused had sodomized him severally in his house and in the bushes and in all those instances he would ask him to remove his clothes, lie on his stomach, apply anointing oil on his buttocks and then penetrate him.
“Afterwards he would reward him with a Ksh20 coin and threaten him that he would kill him if he told people about it,” Nabwana added.
The magistrate noted that the minor in his evidence to the court was collaborated by that of his 10-year-old brother who according to court was a star truthful witness.
