Defilement cases overwhelm Tutume police

Defilement cases in the village are said to be high, with children as young as nine to 15 years of age being sexually abused. Jorowe said that he is confused by this trend, as he is yet to understand what satisfaction some men derive from sleeping with young children.

"This year it is worse because we have recorded three cases of defilement in a month and the numbers are still increasing, he said. Jorowe said on Monday they received a report that a 15-year-old girl was sexually abused by a man estimated to be aged between 18-20, who is a a student at Nswazwi Brigade.
