A father is to spend 20 years behind bars after the court finding him guilty of defiling his biological daughter.
High Court judge Tonny Vincent Okwanga sentenced Godfrey Ssekikubo to 20 years in prison and ruled that the sentence is to teach him a lesson that fathers are supposed to protect their children not defiling them.
Ssekikubo is a Boda Boda rider and a resident of Kirombe Zone in Nsambya, Makindye division in Kampala district.
However, while beginning his defence today, Sekikubo told court that he has never had sex with the then 16 year daughter or impregnated her or later caused her abortion as alleged by state.
Prosecution states that the offence was committed during the month February 2016 to May. Court documents indicate that due to a lot of pain the victim revealed the incident to a neighbor who also revealed the information to police hence his arrest and prosecution.
Prosecutions states that in the month of April 2016 in Kilombe zone the suspect had canal knowledge with a 15 year old girl well knowing that he was the biological father.
