A 57-year -old woman, Desderia Mbwelwa, has been sentenced to twenty-nine years imprisonment for raping an eight years old boy.
The Tanzanian court found the 57yr old woman guilty last Friday who not only raped the boy, but allegedly gave him a sexually transmitted disease.
According to reports, the lady found the boy herding cattle in one of the villages in southern district of Iringa. After discovering he was alone, she sexually assaulted him under a tree.
Five witnesses including a doctor who examined the boy, confirmed that the boy sustained injuries and contracted sexual infections due to contamination in his genital area.
Mbwelwa’s lawyer, Frank Mwela, said they will appeal the judgement arguing that the lady has not been tested to confirm if she has sexua infections.
