Police in Naivasha Sub County have detained a 70 year-old man for sexually abusing eight minors including seven boys.
Also in the group is a 10 year-old girl who alleged that the suspect defiled her as she headed to fetch water.
The man was arrested after the minors who hail from Ngondi village in Naivasha complained to their teachers about the sex pest.
A relative to one of the victims, James Mwaura, told of their anger adding that the abuse had been going for over three months before it was exposed.
“The suspect wooed the minors using sweets and mandazis before sodomising them in his house,” said Mwaura.
He was speaking at the Naivasha Sub County Referral Hospital where the minors and the suspect had been taken for medical examination.
According to the minors, the suspect was well known in the village and had abused other minors who had refused to come forward.
The officer in charge of the hospital Dr Joseph Mburu said that medical results from the hospital indicated that the suspect was suffering from an STD while the girl's hymen was broken.
