Although defilement is a capital offence, the crime in Bukedea District continues to cause endless suffering to victims.
It is reported that with the aid of police, local councils negotiate with the victims’ parents for as low as Shs500,000 to let the suspects go scot-free.
For instance on April 5, a police officer at Kidongole Police Post allegedly convened a meeting with one of the victim’s parents to mediate with the defiler.
