A Sergeant-at-Arms in Kajiado County was on Thursday arrested for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old child.
Dickson Okoyo Ndemo had failed to appear in court prompting an arrest warrant being issued for his retrieval.
He is set to answer to charges of committing an indecent act with a child contrary to section II (i) of the sexual offences Act No 3 of 2006.
According to reports by the DCI, the offence was committed on August 6, 2015.
According to the Act, a person who commits an offence of defilement with a child between the age of 12 and 15 years is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than 20 years.
Additionally, a person can be charged with attempted defilement which is an act defined as an attempt to commit an act which would cause penetration with a child.
"A person who commits an offence of attempted defilement with a child is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than ten years," reads section 9(2) of the Sexual Offences Act.
