Kitwe City Centre

AN eleven-year-old girl yesterday narrated in a Kitwe magistrate’s court how an 82 year-old-man allegedly defiled her on several occasions and allegedly infected her with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

This is in the case in which Joel Chileshe, unemployed of Kawama Township, is charged with defilement after he allegedly had sex with the girl on October 21, last year.

The girl, a Grade four pupil, told magistrate Ruth Kapulo that Chileshe had sex with her on several occasions and would sometimes give her biscuits after the act. She narrated that on October 21, last year, Chileshe who was in the company of his friend went to her family’s home to buy beer.

She told the court that it was during that occasion that he took advantage to allegedly fondle her breasts.

The girl said her younger sister started crying upon seeing what Chileshe was doing to her and that was how her father who was in the house called her. She said the following day, Chileshe took her to his house, where he allegedly undressed her, held her legs apart and defiled her.

The girl told the court that after the act, she noticed some discharge from her private parts which Chileshe wiped with a cloth.

“The man held my legs when having sex with me and when I told him that it was painful, he said he was going to be gentle and after he finished he took a cloth to wipe the discharge that was coming from my private parts,” she told the court.

The girl told the court that for one week, Chileshe picked her from school on his bicycle and took her to his house where he would allegedly fond her breasts, lick her private parts and later defile her.

She said she usually experienced abdominal pains and that the time the accused person took her to his house, his wife was in Wusakile Township because she was sick. The girl said after some time she told her brother what Chileshe was doing to her and later her mother was informed about it.

In cross examination by Chileshe, the girl said the accused person went to pick her up from school on several occasions, allegedly defiled her and would later escort her half way the distance to her home.

When Chileshe persistently asked the girl if the mother had not sent her and her sibling to take beer to him, the girl broke down and said it was because of him that she was now on HIV/AIDS treatment.

She told the court that Chileshe allegedly used to defile her younger sister and denied that she was in the habit of having sex with other men.

The matter comes up for continued hearing on February 29.

    • But mushota, i am surprised to see here that you feel terrible. the white men that you praise as more intelligent commit such acts with pride. the sociology theory you believe in promote such values.

  1. This why we Muslim stones such people to death. I think we need Sharia law in Zambia. It will deter such sort out such characters.

  2. HIS WIFE GETS SICK AND HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A 13YEAR OLD TODDLER! I DOUBT IF SHE EVEN HAS BREASTS TO FONDLE. CASTRATE HIM AND LEAVE HIM TO ROT BEHIND BARS SO THAT HE DOESN’T CONTINUE LURING CHILDREN! FOOLISH MAN.

  3. This is terrible!!! The girl…I mean how can she keep quiet all along when she is defiled until this late? Its beats my logic.This also has everything to do with poor parenting!!I know this area of Kawama/Kamatipa…full of illicit shebeens.

  4. Chileshe had sex with her on several occasions. one wonders why the girl did not tell her parents if she was forced into the act. the very first time??? These small girls are in the habit of wanting to experiment sex at their tender age against the advice of their parents.
    Offcourse Chileshe is insane, if he was starved he could gone to prostutes. Ths is madness !!

    • This old man preyed on an innocent young girl. She is the child and he is the adult- the paedophile. If it was in western countries, this man would be classified as a menace to society and locked up for a very long time. imagine that little girl was your daughter or sister, you would want the harshest punishment for the old man. So, sit up and think ! is this girl to blame?? An paedophile defiled this young & innocent child for his own sick pleasures and destroyed her in the process!!! So he deserves to be locked up for a very long time !!!!

  5. He should be caged. He knows he is sick and goes on defiling a young girl ruining her life.why not get a fellow HIV prostitute for his madness.

  6. dont be *****ic number 5. the reason why abuse and molestation continues is because of brainless a=holes like you who quickly blame the victim for this. do you even understand that at 11 years old one does not have the emotional intelligence to tear themselve from the abuser. Have you not noticed that a beaten child will normally even cry for the person that beats them. Its an instinct that most of these predetors prey on to continue with specific victims especially children. this is also what evolves into ‘battered wife syndrome when women fail to leave abusive spouses and equate the violence to love. I wouldnt want to be your daughter!!!

  7. “KweKwe” i also know him as the guy who failed to the natinal when he was a coach.As for the captain it is not the first time that he has captained the national team.Zambia failed many time before with him as national team.You cant attribute the current success to them, football is team play and can only be one captain at a time.

  8. AN 11 YEAR OLD IS A YOUNG AND STILL LEARNING. ONCE YOU THREATEN HIM OR HER AND GIVE AN ORDER OF TOTAL SILENCE, THE CHILD WILL DO EXACTLY. THE PROBLEM HERE IS WITH THE PARENTS OR GUARDIANS WHO DON’T HAVE TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN. I GUESS ANY PARENT WOULD NOTE THE DIFFERENCE IN HIS OR HER YOUNG CHILD CAUGHT UP IN SUCH SITUATIONS. PARENTS SHOULD LEARN TO SIT, CHAT AND LAUGH WITH THEIR KIDS NOT WHERE BY A CHILD’S BUSINESS HAS NOTHING TO WITH THE PARENTS. EVERY TIME THE FATHER OR MOTHER COMES HOME AFTER 22HRS AND FINDS CHILDREN IN BED AND EARLY MORNING LEAVE. HEY, IN THESE KINDS OF FAMILIES, CALAMITIES ARE THE OUTCOMES.

  9. Mr. Chileshe the dog…..such dogz should be caged. Am doing my research on defilemnt and yo case will be publishd in my research.

  10. Sad situation, but I blame the girl for not reporting the act in the first place. Its possible she was also enjoying, how can she allow the old man to defile her for the whole week, he could fond her breasts, lick her private parts and she did not protest. What the old man did was wrong but we should teach our children to respect elders so that elderly can ashemed even to touch the young ones.

  11. Kwekwe and Sausu, Guys, there should be a time when our discurse trascend this tribal talk. You should be ashamed of yourselves, really!!!!

  12. ZED Politics, While I get your point about teaching our chuildren, we need to be careful to avoid blaming the victim here. The girl is only 11 years and may not have understood what it means. To her, the fact that the old man seems to be enjoying it and was even being nice to her, she may have taken allowing him do those things as being obedient to elders.
    It is just sad, girl is too young and the actions of the old man unreasonable!!!!

  13. People in this area are silly..why even wait for the court stone the fool to death. am ready to throw the first stone please.

  14. Too bad for the girl….Usually defillers have a tendancy of making the victim feel that they love them more than anyone else. I am a victim of diffilement myself. I cudnt tell anyone for more than two years coz for me my defiller was my hero…he bot me nice dresses, took me shoping in shops like mwaiseni in those days, He defended me even wen i was wrong, How cud i have betrayed him? . In fact I dint evn know we were having sex, for me he was jst fond of urinating in me…I was only 10 he was abt 40. He died wen i was 18. Parents, plse show love to yo children and be open to talk about sex and HIV. Teach them that no one is allowed to touch their privates.

  15. errible things are happening because of a breakdown in family values. children are let to grow up like trees without any parental care and guidance.

  16. Castrate HIM TODAY, NO TIME WASTING HE IS A VERY FO.O.LISH MAN, ABAKULU BONSE PAKAICHE?? Also these parents that send young Girls to Taverns, Its Bad?? VERY SAD INDEED. LT WHY SHOPRITE??? SHOW STUPID CHILESHE’s FACE

  17. Why does our legal system allow an alleged defiler to cross examine the alleged victim who is also under age?  Surely the girl has been through enough trauma without being further subjected to this ordeal?

  18. #16 – Sauzu – you are a disturbed person if really you can equate crime in tribal lines. I dont agree with Kwekwe either to align success with a tribe

  19. Imbwa iyaume ubupubafye pakaice teti mufweko ne soni. At 82 years and you know you are infected you can go for a small girl? You are not suppose to stay in the compound with people you go and rot in behind bars in jail. Please mwebaume go for the old ones and not small innocent girls sure. Marry if you think you cannot stay without sex. Even if balikusula bonse there is someone who will like you icipuba chinobe and not utubaice. Mulichipuba sana. Kabiyeni mukafwile mu jele its okey a grand father for that matter you are useless.

  20. When u r abused as a child, it does not go away. It stays with u for the rest of your life. Ive been a victim of abuse and am telling you pipo I still recall exactly what happened those days I was being abused by a woman. I was 7yrs and the lady was over 20. I hate abusers and I can gladly burn any of them alive.

  21. The actual Bend Bend style is a lot much more luxurious as well as intended for clients that like to end up being because showy within their design since the manufacturer

  22. The useless old man should be caged and libido split open with sharp razer and then inject the old fool with the drug that killed mj
