A 25-year-old Malindi-based Madrasaa teacher, who stupefied his 15-year-old student before sodomizing him repeatedly, has been jailed for 20 years.
Yusuf Charo Dole was convicted of the offence of defilement contrary to section 8[1] as read with section 8[3] of the sexual offences act No. 3 of 2006.
He reportedly committed the offence on July 29, 2022, at Mambrui in Magarini Sub County within Kilifi County.

In her verdict, Chief Magistrate Elizabeth Usui ruled that the Prosecution’s evidence was sufficient to support the charge against Dole.
The Prosecution presented four witnesses whose testimonies and exhibits proved the case against the accused person.
Hon. Usui further stated that evidence showed the tutor gave the minor a green pill when he went to see the accused after falling ill and instructed him to swallow.
The pill made the boy drowsy, and the accused took him to another room where he committed the heinous act.
Hon. Usiu observed that despite being incapacitated to move, the victim was able to witness the ordeal being meted out to him by his religious teacher.
The accused person undressed the minor, sodomizing him repeatedly, leaving him to writhe in pain, and the trauma made him unable to attend classes or talk to anyone for one week.
He later gained the courage to share his anguish with a classmate, who passed on information to the institution’s management.
The convict disappeared from the institution for one week but was arrested on resuming work.
The court dismissed his defence that he was being framed by the headteacher because of the grudge between him and denied sodomizing the minor.
On identification, the court ruled that the victim and other students correctly identified the teacher on the fateful day.
The court further ruled that the medical evidence corroborated the minor’s testimony.
