The mother claims that Otim called her daughter after returning from the Independence Day parade that fateful day in the late afternoon.
The suspect came out of the house as soon as the girl started screaming, according to the mother of the alleged victim, and they immediately went to the Police canteen to buy the girl a soda.
But the infant didn’t stop crying. The girl had a tear and a swollen private area, the mother said after examination.
When the infant was taken urgently to Arua Regional Referral Hospital, the medical examination revealed that the female had been altered.
The victim was immediately enrolled on post-exposure prophylaxis. She is pleading for justice in this case because the suspect has been at large since the crime occurred with no action taken.
She said, “This suffering is too much to take any longer, and seeing the offender roaming around every day with nothing being done, I simply pray for justice in this matter.
Aggravated defilement: what is it? If an adult engages in sexual activity with a very young child (between days old to 14 years old), defilement is intensified in nature.
Additional conditions include the offender’s (adult) HIV positivity, blood relationship to the victim, and/or position of power over the kid (father, uncle, aunt, etc.).
If the perpetrator has power over the victim, such as a teacher, or if the victim (a kid) has a disability, or if the perpetrator is a repeat offender, these factors are also taken into account while deciding whether to impose an aggravated defilement punishment.
Such a person faces the possibility of execution upon conviction at the High Court.
