The teacher of Wanganga Primary School allegedly committed the crime after taking the class eight girls to a lodging within Awasi Township.
The incident was confirmed by Nyando OCPD Leonard Matete who said that the crime was committed some two months back, but was only discovered on Friday.
He added that they have enough evidence to prosecute the accused and possibly have him convicted.

The police boss said that the secret leaked out after the teacher, in conspiracy with the girl's aunt attempted to procure an abortion on the girl at a backstreet clinic.
He added that the 14-year-old girl was rushed to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) on Friday, by a good Samaritan after the abortion went wrong, resulting in heavy bleeding.
"The girl was still bleeding by yesterday when she was found by a Good Samaritan and rushed to the hospital," added that police boss.
He noted that they are also investigating the management of the said lodging, after getting information that its notorious for involvements between underage girls and adult men.
A search has been launched for the aunt who, however, remains at large.
