A university lecturer
who teaches at Egerton University Njoro campus was arraigned before a Nakuru
court and charged with raping his student. Mr. Evans Ng’eno was
accused of forcefully taking sexual advantage of his female student at Soilo
area in Nakuru. The incident is said to have happened on September 2, 2016 at
night after he met the student and offered to give her a lift.
The student claimed the
suspect drove her to his house and after a brief chart, he asked if she was
‘clean’ (HIV status) and then went ahead to rape her. “He asked me whether I
was HIV positive and before I could answer his he pushed me on his sofa set, tore
my clothes and raped me for several hours” she said. Ng’eno, however, denied
the charges before Chief Magistrate Josphat Kalo and was released on a cash
bail of Ksh.200,000. The case is set for hearing on November 3, 2016.
