13-Year-Old Boy In Police Net For Impregnating 15-Year-Old Lover

Locals in Migori County were left in shock after news of 13 years old boy impregnating her girl friend of 13 years broke.

It’s reported the mother of 15-year-old girl reported the matter to the police after realizing that her daughter is pregnant.

Police arrived on time and arrested the two lovers before the angered crown ascend to them with crude weapons.

Speaking to journalists, Suna East OCPD Mark Wanjala confirmed the detention and assured his office will involve officers from the children department before taking necessary legal action.

According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), nearly 378,400 adolescent girls in Kenya aged between 10 and 19 years became pregnant between July 2016 and June 2017.

A total of 28,932 girls aged between 10 and 14 years were impregnated, while 349,465 girls were between 15 to 19 years.

Early sexual debut, unplanned pregnancy, and a higher number of births remain issues for adolescent girls and young women.

Recent media reports of the high number of girls failing to sit their final secondary school examinations (KSCE) only reveal the extent to which we have continued to overlook candid discussions about adolescent sexuality.
