A 17-year-old girl stunned the court in Mombasa, Kenya, when she denied her parents and defended her alleged 19-year-old rapist, saying he is her lover and she consented to the sex act with him.

The girl, simply identified as XY, requested that she should be jailed with the accused, identified as JP, if convicted because they are in love.

According to XY, who was 15-years old at the time JP, then aged 17 allegedly defiled her, the suspect is her boyfriend and he never raped her, as alleged by her parents, adding that they both had consensual sex.

“Your honour, I was not forced into having sex with JP neither did he defile me. I agreed to sleep with him because he is my boyfriend. If you decide to convict him, then I should also be convicted,” XY told Resident Magistrate Vincent Adet, insisting that he is still her boyfriend and should not be jailed.

“It is my parents who brought the case to court, I was never defiled and I plead with the court to let my boyfriend free or we be jailed together,” XY said.

According to JP, who was expected to cross examine XY, “I have no question to ask XY and all she has told court is correct. We met and were dating and her parents decided to bring the case to court.”

The case was adjourned till September 30 for ruling.
