Court charges self-confessed Kasama defiler K10,000

A TWENTY-one year old male of Kasama has escaped the punishing arms of justice with only a meager K10,000 payment to a teenager he defiled and impregnated when she was only a minor of 14 years of age back in 2020.
 
In this case, Alick Mponde, now aged 21was before Lusaka’s Matero Local Court for failing to support the child he bore in 2020 with a now 17 year old girl following his being sued by the grandmother to the girl, Frazer Tembo.
 
Mponde, who was escorted to court by some fellow teenage-looking boys who seem to have a sour relationship with the bathing water, admitted being responsible for impregnating the then minor and apologized for not supporting the child saying he was only a 17-year old unemployed Kasama boy at the time he impregnated the girl hence could not render any help.
 
However, the magistrate expressed shock that Mponde was still roaming the streets and not watering cabbages in Kasama’s Milima Correctional Facility as his act with the girl amounted to an offence of defilement which carried a minimum of 15 years in jail.
 
The bewildered magistrate questioned the guardians on why they had not reported Mponde to police for defilement three years down the line.
 
“Your 14-year old minor was defiled and you failed to report the matter to the police, did you know you can be held accountable for that?” Magistrate Gaston Kalala retorted.
 
Meanwhile, the grandmother who looked remorseful after the Magistrates comment, pleaded ignorance of the law adding that she was unaware that it was a crime.
 
However, despite the Zambian statute of limitation (period in which one can be sued or arrested for a crime committed) being six years, the Matero Magistrate did not refer the case of Alick Mponde, now aged 21, to higher courts but proceeded to settle the Damage Compensation issue instead.
 
The Court concluded the case by charging Mponde with a K10,000 for Damage Compensation to be paid in installments of K500 monthly effective January 31, 2023.
 
“This money is not meant for child support the mother to his child can sue him for child support if she continues not paying” stated Magistrate Kalala.
