The case of a 9-year-old girl who delivered a child in Nairobi hospital, Kenya has left many Kenyans in shock.
According to reports, the little girl was impregnated by her father who has now absconded. His identity also remains unknown.
The Sexual Offences Act and the Children’s Act in the country both outlaw sexual contact with minors, defined in law as defilement. If found, the perpretator will be charged for paedophilia.
The identity of the 9-year-old has been made private for legal reasons.
