A teacher at a church found himself in hot soup for allegedly kissing a minor while working at St Paul’s PCEA Church in Githunguri.
George Otieno, 32, also faces an alternative charge of indecently touching the minor without her consent. The suspect is said to have gone into hiding following the complaint on March 16, 2016 before he was arrested.
It is alleged that the suspect, who teaches mathematics, took advantage of the minor after asking her to bring him food from the school kitchen.
The court heard that Otieno who was waiting in one of the classrooms, asked the girl to taste the food first. He later allegedly asked her to join him in another room to show her nice books, but instead, started kissing her before inserting his fingers in her private parts.
Otieno denied the charges and was released on a surety bond of Sh300,000. The case will be heard on May 22.
