A 38- year old school cook in Entebbe has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for sexually molesting an 11-year-old girl in Zana in Makindye-Ssabagabo municipality.
Noah Kyeyune sexually harassed the 11 yr old girl who was a pupil at Elton Junior School in Zana, the same school he was employed to cook food at.
Kyeyune lured the child into the school kitchen on November 24, 2018, before forcing her into painful sexual intercourse.
Justice Wilson Kwesiga found Kyeyune guilty and jailed him for 20 years after proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he performed sexual acts on the child.
Earlier on Monday, two court assessors Robert Budonga and Joan Asiimwe advised Justice Kwesiga to convict Kyeyune based on the testimony of the victim and evidence of the prosecution.
Justice Kwesiga also deducted one year that Kyeyune has spent on remand from the sentence.
Earlier on, Joan Keko, the Entebbe Resident State Attorney, had asked the court to convict Kyeyune to 35 years in prison because he defiled a girl he should have protected.
But Kyeyune’s lawyer Peruth Nshemereir proposed a jail term of 15 years for Kyeyune because he has children and a wife to take care of.
