The primary school teacher has been sentenced for sexually assaulting 10 students.
A court in Murang'a has sentenced a primary school teacher to 90 years in prison after finding him guilty of sexually assaulting nine pupils.
John Gichia Mugi, 23, was convicted of indecently assaulting 10 boys of Muthiria Primary School in Kiharu Constituency on various dates between January and May 2015.
The court jailed him for nine years for each of the ten counts.
The victims, aged between 13 and 16 years, had testified that the teacher, who was also their boarding master, would lure them and fondle their private parts after night preps as he kissed them.
Resident Magistrate Jesse Masiga, who handed him the stiff sentence said the accused deserved a deterrent sentence, adding that every count attracted a jail term of nine years.
HEINOUS OFFENCE
The magistrate said the teacher had breached the trust bestowed on him by parents, adding that the offence was too heinous.
"The prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that you had sexually assaulted the boys," Mr Masiga said.
'I sentence you to serve a 10 years prison term for each of the nine counts of sexual assault. The sentences will run consecutively," he added as he read the sentence.
The matter came to light after one of the victims refused to be left in the school by his parents who had attended a parents' meeting.
Upon probing, the pupil revealed how the teacher was indecently assaulting them at night when others were asleep.
The teacher, who was employed by the school's board of management, is said to have fled after the boys exposed him.
Eleven pupils came forward and exposed the teacher but the court later struck out one of them due to lack of sufficient evidence.
MEDICAL RECORDS
Medical records from Muriranjas Hospital showed that the pupils had been indecently assaulted but were not molested.
They narrated to the court how the teacher made attempts to molest them in their dormitories but they were able to resist him.
The school's headteacher was found guilty of professional misconduct and discontinued from service by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) after he tried to cover up the case.
On mitigation, Gichia told the court that the pupils conspired with some teachers to frame him, insisting that he was innocent.
Through lawyer J N Mbuthia, Mr Gichia said there was rivalry between him and three other teachers after he was elevated to head the science department.
Dismissing his conspiracy allegations, the magistrate said that the kids had a cordial relationship with the teacher adding that reporting sexual offences was humiliating in nature that no person can lie about it.
Mr Gichia added that he was his family's breadwinner and was still pursuing further studies.
He also told the court that his strong Christian faith would not allow him to engage in such shameful acts and that pupils also disliked his high handedness.
His parents, who could not control their emotions, broke down as he was whisked into the waiting prison truck to start his new life behind bars.
Simon Bickford-Smith, 39, began a relationship with the girl when she was 17, while he was a teacher at Sixth Form College, Farnborough in Hampshire.
A National College for Teaching & Leadership (NCTL) panel found he engaged in sexual activity with her on at least one occasion.
In its report the NCTL found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
Mr Bickford-Smith was banned from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children's home in England.
It added the conduct, which took place between 2014 and 2015, was also likely to bring the profession into disrepute.
Mr Bickford-Smith, who had worked at the college since 2005, resigned from his position as a personal tutor in January 2015.
'Naked images'
The girl, known as Pupil A, stated in evidence that Mr Bickford-Smith invited her to his flat for coffee where he lived on his own.
She told the panel that she and Mr Bickford-Smith kissed on this occasion and also had sex.
He also kissed her on more than one occasion, the report stated.
The panel found Mr Bickford-Smith had exchanged emails with the girl using his personal email address, which she said were "flirtatious" and suggestive at times.
He was also found guilty of posting naked images of men and women on his Tumblr social media account, which he knew she could access.
It concluded his "sexually motivated" conduct had also had a "profound and negative effect" on the girl.
College principal Simon Jarvis described NCTL's decision as "an appropriate outcome in the light of overwhelming evidence".
He said the college had acted "as soon as we had concerns" and "co-operated fully with the authorities involved".
Hampshire Constabulary said it investigated but found no crime had been committed, and no arrests were made.
- UPDATED
Disgraced athlete Oscar Pistorius has removed his prosthetic legs and hobbled through the court room on day three of his sentencing.
The former Olympic runner was asked by his defence counsel Barry Roux to remove his fake limbs in a bid to prove he deserves leniency.
Pistorius took his legs off, then hobbled uncomfortably across the room before leaning on a wooden sideboard next to his lawyer.
He then knelt on a red cushion on the floor.
Pistorius was on his stumps when he fatally shot Ms Steenkamp through a toilet cubicle door in his home 2013 - he testified at his murder trial that he felt vulnerable and thought an intruder was in the house.
Mr Roux said: "This is the person - it's three o'clock in the morning. It's dark.
"He's on his stumps...not on his legs, he is not running around the track.
"He suffers from an anxiety disorder."
Mr Roux added: "When he was on his stumps his balance was seriously compromised and without anything he would not be able to defend himself.
"He was anxious, he was frightened and he was suffering from an anxiety disorder.
"This must all be seen in the context of his disability and the pervasive effect of the disability."
"When I look at him I think how rational can be," Mr Roux added.
He then asked a distressed looking Pistorius to return to his seat.
The runner faces up to 15 years in prison for shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The hearing brings to an end years of legal battles - the, a former Olympic sprinter, was originally convicted of manslaughter after he blasted Reeva to death at his home in Pretoria in the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013.
The conviction was upgraded to murder by South Africa's Supreme Court last year and judges have said Pistorius has no more options to appeal.
Reeva's father yesterday told the court her fatal shooting has "devastated" his family, and that he thinks about her constantly.
In a voice shaking with emotion, Barry Steenkamp revealed he has tried to imagine the horrific moment of his daughter's death, and said: "Oscar has to pay for what he did."
Mr Steenkamp added that he would like to talk to the former track star in private at a later stage.
The hearing is scheduled to run until Friday.
Congratulations on being a tone-deaf egoist, Donald Trump.
The presumptive GOP nominee set off another firestorm of criticism Sunday after he — in the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history — thanked supporters for their praise on his stance against President Obama's refusal to use the term "radical Islamic terrorism."
"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!" Trump tweeted hours after at least 50 people were killed, and another 53 were injured, in a horrific mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub.
"Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!" Trump posted about an hour later.
He later posted a more comprehensive statement expounded, writing that "Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam.'"
"For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency," he added. "If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen — and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore."
Trump also referenced the Afghan background of the shooter and his family as well as the admission into the U.S. of thousands of people of Middle Eastern descent, following up the statement with yet another tweet in which he doubled down on his proposal to ban all Muslims from the U.S.
“What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough, he wrote.
Texas Lt. Gov. ripped for ill-timed tweet after mass shootingThe hate-spewing huckster's tweets and statement came in reference to Obama's reluctance to use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism," a phrase he's said unfairly maligns an entire faith and could be misconstrued an attack on the 1 billion Muslims worldwide.
Trump's comments immediately sparked rebuttal.
"@realDonaldTrump You're congratulating yourself because 50 people are dead this morning in a horrific tragedy?," Meghan McCain, a political commentator and the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) tweeted.
"Once again, Donald, you have shown why you cannot lead us. 50 people are dead, and you bask in congratulations," actor and activist George Takei tweeted.
Hours after his son carried out a horrific massacre at an Orlando gay club, Seddique Mateen posted a video online sharing his own anti-gay views — and calling his son a "good kid."
"God will punish those involved in homosexuality," Seddique Mateen said in the video, speaking in Dari.
"It's not an issue that humans should deal with," he added.

Seddique Mateen posted a video online following Sunday's shooting.
(FACEBOOK)Seddique Mateen noted that his son Omar carried out the attack during the holy month of Ramadan.
"I'm extremely upset," he said in the video, which was later deleted.
Seddique Mateen said his son Omar was "well-educated," with a wife and son. The father claims he wasn't aware of his son's deadly intentions.
"I didn't know he had hatred in his heart," the father said.
In a separatevideo interview with the Washington Post, Seddique Mateen expressed sadness for the shooting and shared his sympathies to the victim's families.
"I wish I did know. If I did know, I would have stopped him," he said. "I know as much as you do at this point."
The videos follow an interview with NBC News when the father claimed the attack had nothing to do with religion — and that his son was enraged after seeing two men kissing in Miami months ago.
"They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that,'" Seddique Mateen said. "And then we were in the men's bathroom and men were kissing each other."
Seddique Mateen has posted dozens of hour-long episodes of a bizarre talk show — "Durand Jirga Show" — on YouTube between 2012 and 2015, with the show reportedly featuring anti-U.S. tirades.
The father also pretends to be the president of Afghanistan in some of the clips.
A 20-year-old man going to a massive gay pride parade in West Hollywood, Calif. was arrested on Sunday morning with assault rifles, ammunition and explosive materials in his car Sunday, police said.
The bust came the same morning a terrorist in Orlando killed at least 50 people in a gay nightclub, in the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said the two incidents are "completely unrelated."
The suspect, James Wesley Howell of Indiana, was taken into custody by Santa Monica police officers after a resident reported his "suspicious" behavior shortly before 5 a.m., cops said.
Cops found three assault rifles, high capacity magazines, ammunition and camouflage clothing in his vehicle, a law enforcement source told the Daily News.
They also found a 5-gallon bucket of chemicals that can be used for forming an improvised explosive device, Santa Monica police said.
A source identified the material as tannerite-type powder.
Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said on Twitter Sunday that Howell admitted he planned "to harm (the) Gay Pride event." However, Seabrooks later clarified that the initial reports of wanting to do harm were incorrect, and that the suspect had only admitted to going to the parade.
The FBI is investigating the arrest. Police have released no other details on his possible motive.
Before it was deactivated Sunday, Howell’s Facebook page said he attended Ballard High School in Louisville, Ky., before he became an auditor at Clarcor Air Filtration Products in Jeffersonville, Ind.
"Wow. I just can't believe it," Howell's friend and former co-worker Cary Goodman told the Daily News on Sunday night. "I worked with him until probably a month ago. He seemed like he was a pretty good person."
Goodman said that Howell mentioned he had a male partner, so he was surprised police said he might have been targeting the Pride event to cause harm.
