A total of 12 counts had been brought against Mugo and Milimani chief magistrate Wendy Micheni found him guilty of 10 counts.

While delivering the judgement, the chief magistrate noted that the prosecution had proven beyond reasonable doubt that Mugo was on the wrong side of the law.

She however disagreed with the prosecution that Mugo sexually molested his patients after dragging them.

“The sexual molestation charge cannot stand in any court of law as the prosecution failed to prove the three main ingredients of forcible intercourse beyond reasonable doubt to warrant a conviction.

“The court required oral evidence from the alleged victim, sufficient circumstantial evidence and DNA samples test which were never provided in court by the prosecution,” the chief magistrate ruled.

He was also acquitted of charges that he unlawfully hired two medical students to work under him in his clinic.

The magistrate ruled that the prosecution side had failed to provide enough evidence that Mugo made those appointments.

The court will sentence him on Monday, November 21.

Mugo was first arrested and arraigned in Court in 2015. He was charged with rape and illegally administering unknown medicines to his patients.
