A 27 year old man has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for defiling his 9 year old Niece and infecting her with HIV/AIDS.

Kampala High Court Judge Alex Ajiji convicted David Kayondo a resident of Nakulabye Hozana zone- Rubaga Division in Kampala District,  on his own plea of  guilt to an offence of aggravated defilement, and asked for a lenient punishment.

Prosecution led by Nyanzi Gladys says  that Kayondo used to sexually abuse his Sister’s daughter whenever she was away for work, in May/2015, well knowing that he was HIV positive.

According to the victim, her uncle threatened to harm her if she told anyone, but on 25th/June/2015 due to much pain the victim revealed the incident to a neighbor who informed the victim’s mother, and Kayondo was arrested.
