In a development that has gotten tongues wagging across Kenya, St Catherine Parish Court Judge Natalie Creary-Dixon has asked for documentation on the criminal history of Kenyan Roman Catholic priest Lawrence Muvengi, who is accused of the alleged sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl.
According to local reports, the request was made when the 39-year-old made his first court appearance.
The embattled Priest is charged with rape, sexual grooming, having sexual intercourse with a person under 16, and abduction.
Muvengi was represented by attorney-at-law Charles Williams.
Reports have it that allegations are that Muvengi sexually abused the child on the compound of the church, which is located in Portmore, St Catherine, on several occasions in April.
The matter was reported to the police’s Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA).
An investigation was launched, which resulted in the arrest of the clergyman. He was formally charged following a question-and-answer session.
It is germane to note that Saint Catherine is a parish in the South East of Jamaica. It is located in the county of Middlesex, and is one of the island’s largest and most economically valued parishes because of its many resources.
