A 21-year-old house help has been jailed for life for using a 4-year-old toddler for child pornography and then posting the act online.
Edda Wakesho, the Kenyan house help in Kiembeni Estate, Mombasa, filmed herself engaging in the act with the minor for financial gain.
On Wednesday, March 2, Senior Resident Magistrate Florence Macharia slammed Wakesho with a life sentence for defiling the boy and a further 10 years for filming the act.
Reports say she defiled the minor for several months, between June and October 2021 and made obscene materials with it.
The investigating officer added that the accused is part of a child pornography syndicate that collaborates with rogue house helps to abuse children and film the acts.
Wakesho in her defence said that she innocently accepted a friend request from Facebook and was introduced to a page where people post nude photos and videos.
The convict said she was recruited into the syndicate with a promise of being paid lots of money.
The court heard that the minor’s mother received a video clip of the wicked act from a foreign mobile number.
