A Primary School Teacher committed to high court for defiling and impregnating a 15 years old pupil.
KABALE: The Kabale Grade I Magistrates court has committed to high court a Primary school teacher for trial allegedly for defilement and impregnating a 15 years old pupil he was teaching.
In a Court session presided over by His worship Julius Mutabazi heard that one Augustine Twinobusingye 31 at Crane preparatory in Rubanda last year had Carnal knowledge with his female pupil contrary to section 129 sub section 3 and 4 (a) of the penal code act.
The Chief Prosecutor Rachael Nkwanzi told court that the said teacher on several occasions gave a 15 years old juvenile in Primary Seven homework activity which she would take to his home for marking from where he took the advantage of seeing her nakedness.
Court heard that in December 2023 after breaking off for holidays Nahabwe never told parents that she was pregnant from which the mother got information from rumors in the village that she was pregnant.
The mother later sent her daughter to the nurse who connived with Twinobusingye (Teacher) and lied that it’s not pregnancy and continued an abortion process at Hamurwa Health Center IV.
A Health worker at the facility informed the Mother and upon interrogation Nahabwe said that it was teacher Agustine who impregnated her and had Carnal knowledge occasionally.
The case was reported to the Head Teacher of Crane Preparatory school Mr. Burazio Turihohabwe and after Augustine Twinobusingye Knew, went into hiding until when he was arrested after reporting back asking to be given his job back.
The Chief Prosecutor told Court that investigations are over as she asked court that the suspect be committed to High Court for trial.
