20 year-old Kenyan teacher arrested for ‘sexting male journalist’ in police honey trap
A Kenyan teacher has been charged with four counts of improper mobile phone use after police arrested him for ‘sexting’ a male journalist.
Godfrey Mburu Waithera exchanged numbers with a radio journalist at a media road show event before later requesting to meet for sex, writes Gay Star News.
The journalist, who remains anonymous, alleges the 20-year-old sent him a series of explicit messages, and decided to file a police report after it was revealed Mburu worked as a schoolteacher.
“Please, let us be lovers and let me show how sweet it is just like a woman. Why don’t you give it a try,” read one such message.
Setting up a ‘honey trap’, police then posed as the journalist arranged to meet Mburu.
“When I reached at our agreed meeting point, I called him and a man came toward me wearing a huge smile and he got into my car and started a conversation,” the journalist told Nairobi News.
“That’s when the police officers who were on a motorbike came and surrounded him.”
While Mburu confessed to sending the text messages, and having sex with one other man – a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
He denies the latest sexual charges levied against him and has been released on a Sh200,000 ($1,964.95) bond.
His hearing is scheduled to commence on March 7.
