Rape cases are normally associated with women where rogue men take advantage to have carnal knowledge without consent.
If convicted, the penalty for rape in Kenya is imprisonment of not less than ten years but can be enhanced to imprisonment for life under the sexual offenses act.
Where’s women are the most commonly affected with rape, there are some cases where men are sexually molested by women.
However, most of these cases go unreported because men fear that their story may be turned Against them by the police.
This is the case with one motorcyclist from Kangemi who got raped on four different occasions while on the line of duty but never reported.
Speaking to Taifa Leo, he said he couldn’t report it because of fear that the rapists could come up with fabricated charges against him.
“Ninasita kujitokeza kuwa nimebakwa. Hapa nchini maafisa wa polisi hawawezi wakaamini. Kitu kingine jamii haiwezi kukubali kwamba nimebakwa. Mambo yatapinduliwa kwa kuwa watu watauliza mwanamke anakubaka aje?” said the father of four.
He narrated on one occasion how he carried a passenger who had a furniture that she wanted ferried to an apartment where she stayed.
When they reached the building, she said she could not carry the piece of furniture because it was very heavy hence she requested for assistance.
When he carried the furniture to the house, she locked the door and demanded that he sleeps with her, failure to which she shouts.
“The agenda changed immediately we reached her house. She locked the door and demanded that I sleep with her”, he narrated.
