MADI-OKOLLO:
A 20-year-old peasant in Madi-Okollo District has been charged with the Aggravated Defilement after he was caught redhanded defiling a 3-year-old girl he was taking care of.
The suspect is Jackson Oleama, a resident of Olali village, in Madi-Okollo District.
He committed the sinful act at Panya village, Yiki Parish, Madi Okollo district.
Police reports indicate that Oleama was given responsibility by Araka Rabeka, the mother of the victim, for him to look after, as she went to the market to buy food.
He took advantage of the girl victim and defiled her.
He was found red-handed in the act by the elder brother who informed their mother and the matter reported to police.
Police Spokesperson CP Fred Enanga has told reports that the suspect was arrested and detained.
Enanga said male and female juveniles are vulnerable and targeted by sexual predators imploring parents and guardians to be vigilant especially at a time when schools are preparing to reopen.
“Many child predators are not strangers to victims. They are usually relatives to the victim or acquaintances such as neighbors, siblings, family friends, teachers etc, who appear to be warm, caring, loving and respectful.” Enanga said
