A 45-year-old man was arrested and accused of sodomising 18 schoolboys in Nakuru.
The matter later took a new twist and the suspect was to face thirty counts of crimes relating to sexual offenses after a court allowed amendments to the charge sheet.
Nakuru principal magistrate Joe Omido on Wednesday, May 24, 2017, granted the request by police to amend the charges facing Thomas Musabire Kidemi and sort them into three separate files before he was charged afresh in court.
Kidemi was charged with 20 counts of crime including promotion of child pornography and child prostitution. The court heard that the counts had increased to 30 after more complainants emerged.
He denied having shown the school children pornographic films with an intention to sexually arouse them on unknown dates in March, in his house in Railways estate.
Kidemi was further charged with forcing the children to engage in sexual acts with a mentally ill woman in the same period.
The suspect, a father of five, was arrested by police officers who acted on a tip-off from a concerned parent.
From the police files, the accused who was a morgue attendant and also worked as a part-time bodaboda operator, as well as a night guard, encouraged young children from two primary schools to engage in the sexual acts by showing them the films.
Furious parents stormed the Central Police station in Nakuru town demanding to have the suspect released from the police cells for lynching.
They threatened to take the matter in their own hands if justice for their young ones was not served.
