The Limbe first grade magistrate court has sentenced a 35-year-old man to eight years imprisonment for raping his neighbour’s daughter aged 16.

The court heard that the convict, Paul Kazembe, has been sexually abusing the girl since 2015 when she was aged 14 and in May this year the girl started showing signs of pregnancy.

Parents of the victim reported the matter to Limbe police and the rapist was arrested within the month of May.

He pleaded guilty in court and asked the presiding magistrate Her Worship Bakili to exercise lenience when passing judgement because he is a first offender.

However, state prosecutor inspector Chavinda told the magistrate that the offence is a serious one and he requested for a stiff punishment.

But the presiding magistrate slapped the convict with an eight year sentence.

Kazembe hails from Kaumbwe village, Traditional Authority Kawinga in Machinga district.

    3. Sex without consent is rape. A minor cannot give consent to an adult to partake in sexual behaviour. It is rape. Defilement is the term frequently used in Malawi to describe the rape of a minor. It’s still rape.

  33. Being 16yrs, she is grown up. and most of the girls in nowadays, they wants elder man like.moreover, there was a courtship at first.and my fellow malawians,can you reckons for the yrs of imprisonment. instead of 14yrs, why magistrate imprison the man with 8yrs.

    1. in sentencing one,the court takes into consideration the factors of how the offence was committed as well as the factors in the proceedings during court sessions..therefore you cant expect the sentence to be so exact to the maximum

    2. More over you have stated that their was a relationship btwn them.that was taken into consideration too
