The magistrate reportedly booked a room at around 8:00 pm at Sharies Bar and Restaurant, where he had been imbibing drinks, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

Both the suspect and the victim were rushed to a local hospital for the necessary medical examination. The victim was later booked as a child in need of care and protection. 

The magistrate is currently in custody pending arraignment to face defilement charges.

    I think the Kenya Police needs to hire Will Smith on a contract basis to give these criminal judges good, clean Chris Rock slaps ili wapate adabu. Kumbafu.

    @MakOnyango. Lets no promote violence because that's what slapping is. And if you have ben following the slapping story, WS has profusely apologized and there has been a major fallout on his part. In hindsight, i am sure he wishes he would take it back.

    ...the suspect and the victim were rushed to a local hospital for..it does sound like the duo was seriously sick, or in need of emergency treatment. But anyway, a judge, of all the people?

    Those are the kind of judges, magistrates and lawyers you currently find on the bench today - children molesters.

    Any certified social scientist here? I would like to know why seemingly intelligent people do such stupid things.Why dont the emply their supposedly good brains to make wise decision?
    judge "canoodling " with a minor is not a very wise decision,much less a shamba boy doing it...

    Comrade Maxiley,
    It is the same old story, men using their small heads to think. Again once you induce alchohol, the small head takes over. I don't care how academically qualified you're you can't use the small head to reason.
    My question is what was this girl doing in a club? I'm not trying to justify the crime here, but was MONEY part of the deal.
    Most girls want the high life, as a society, we are allowing legal prostitution in the name of slay queens, sugar babies etc. This is deep rooted than we think.
    Anyway, this fool belongs to KAMITI.

    There is alittle of law being applied unevenly here,@ comrade Kora Kanini. Right now,especially in the muslim communities there are segments of Kenyan men marrying underage girls.Some are even taken out of school for marriage. There are somethings men do that defy logic.Why would an old man of 60 want to marry a 15 year old girl,thus destroying her future?
