A 13 year old girl who has allegedly defiled by her biological father for the past three years and forced to undergo abortion three times has been chased from home after she testified against her father in court.
In her testimony at Mombasa Law Courts, the minor whose identity we have concealed told the court that his father began by sexually molesting her at the age of 11 after she and her younger brother were left under the care of their father since their mother used to work for long hours.
“My mother used to work at a hotel within town and would come back home very late after her night shifts so l would cook, clean and feed my younger brother. We used to sleep on the floor, while my parents slept in bed. At night my father would remove the mosquito net, sleep next to me and start caressing me. I would resist and whenever he noticed my brother was awake, he would pretend that he was going for a short call,” she narrated.
The minor revealed that she was first defiled in 2017 when her father sent the brother to the shop. He grabbed her, closed the door from inside and defiled her.
“After the incident, I told my mother what had happened. My mother confronted my father who denied claiming l was lying and they both beat me,” she said.
She says the incident marked the beginning of a series of several defilement incidences by her father.
