A 14-year-old boy was on Monday arraigned in a Nakuru court and charged with defiling a one-and-half-year-old girl in Mau Narok, Njoro Constituency.

According to court documents the boy defiled the baby girl on September 19 and 20 in Mau Narok after the child was left in his custody by the mother.

Before Senior Resident Magistrate Yvonne Khatambi, the court was told that the 14-year-old suspect committed the act and was caught pants down by neighbours who immediately alerted the police.

He denied the charges and was released on a bond of Sh300,000 with a surety of a similar amount.

The case will be mentioned on October 24.

The prosecution says it has lined up seven witnesses to testify against the accused.

The baby is currently back home from hospital where she had been hospitalized after the defilement.
