The incident is alleged to have taken place in the wee hours of June 2 at the time pupils were preparing to go for morning preps.

The teacher is said to have been on duty when he met a minor on her way to the classroom.

He reportedly asked the pupil to return to the dormitory, where he followed and allegedly raped her.

The girl, however, did not report the incident until Sunday, when teachers called her mother because the girl was weeping uncontrollably.

The girl is said to have narrated how she was defiled by the suspect.

“We have recorded a statement with the police. What I want is justice for my daughter. May the teacher be arrested and charged in court,” said the girl’s mother.

The pupil was rushed to hospital, where pregnancy and STI tests ran on her turned negative. 

Slopes View Academy head teacher Elizabeth Wamuyu Muthui said until Sunday, she wasn’t aware of the incident.
