The suspect has been identified as Julius Nyesiga, 37, a resident of Nyakihanda village, Butoha parish, Magambo sub county in Rubirizi district. He is accused of defiling his daughter, Gift Atuheire who he has been staying with.

According to residents, the victim had been staying with her grandmother from the time her parents separated, aged 4 years until her father took her under his custody at the age of 14.

Locals allege that the suspect is a known alcoholic with multiples partners has been sexually abusing the daughter.

The greater Bushenyi regional police spokesperson, SP Apollo Tayebwa confirmed the report, stating that the suspect (Nyesiga) has been arrested and will be subjected to a medical examination.

“We arrested the father and we are going to subject both the father and the daughter to a medical examination to ascertain their health status as well as assemble enough evidence to prosecute the suspect,” SP Tayebwa said.

The 2024 annual crime report indicates that a total of 12,312 cases of defilement were reported to the Police that year, compared to 12,771 cases reported in 2023 countrywide.

It also says a total of 12,317 victims were defiled in 2024, of whom 12,009 were female juveniles and 308 were male juveniles.

“A total of 283 children were defiled by suspects who are HIV positive, followed by 87 children defiled by biological parents and 171 children defiled by their guardians, among others,” the report showed.

Buyende district registered the highest number of defilement cases last year (210 cases), followed by Sironko district with 141, Mayuge with 131, and Kibuku with 122.

“The category of 15–17 years are mainly victims of defilement due to adolescent age, where many young girls are taken advantage of, and some are defiled in the process of doing domestic chores like collecting water and firewood, especially in rural areas when they are sent alone,” the report says

Of the total cases reported in 2024, 4,072 were aggravated defilement by nature.

A total of 6,584 defilement cases were taken to court, 2,744 were not proceeded with, while 5,097 were still under inquiry by the time of compiling the report.

“A total of 5,515 suspects of defilement were arrested and charged in court, out of whom 173 were convicted, 14 discharged, 1 acquitted, while 5,306 were still awaiting trial,” the report said.

A total of 1,667 cases of rape were reported to Police in 2024, compared to 1,577 cases reported in 2023, giving an increase of 5.7%.

The Uganda Police Force has been at the frontline of strongly condemning all acts of defilement and rape, and continues to urge the public to refrain from engaging in such criminal behavior. Tayebwa has  implored the public, particularly residents in the greater Bushenyi to promptly report any incidents or suspected offenders in their communities to the appropriate authorities.
