Police have arrested a suspected paedophile William Hanga Mwazombo who
bragged
online of his alleged sexual encounters with minors.
Mwazombo was arrested in Mpeketoni, Lamu County on Wednesday evening. He is
a Wells Fargo employee.
Detectives picked him from
his work station after they were tipped off about his whereabouts.
"Good Morning tweeps! Mwazombo ... is currently in lawful custody for posting defamatory children photographs on the media. We thank you the members of the public for alerting us," DCI tweeted on Thursday.
He will be taken to Mombasa for profiling and prosecution.
In pictures that have gone viral on social media, the man boasts that he is untouchable by the police.
One of his victims in the photos appears to be a girl between five to six years, while another is in her mid-teen years.
The photos are captioned with stomach-churning details of how he lured his victims into his trap and what he did to them.
The suspect could be charged with violating Section 12 of the Sexual Offences Act, which notes a jail term of
not less than five years or a fine of not less than Sh500,000.
The law states that a person commits an offence if he/she
manufactures or distributes any article that promotes or is intended to promote a sexual offence with a child.
It is also illegal to supply or display to a child "any article which is intended to be used in the performance of a sexual act, with the intention of encouraging or enabling that child to perform such sexual act".
