Ndola High Court has sentenced a 55-year-old lecturer of Mufulira to 16 years imprisonment with hard labour for forcing a five-year-old girl to touch his manhood.

Particulars of the case are that on May 12 last year in Mufulira, Darlington Mambwe indecently assaulted a child aged five.

During trial, the child’s mother told court that on the material day, around 16:00 hours, she was at home with her five-year-old daughter when Mambwe visited and asked to see her husband.

However, after being informed that he was asleep inside the house, Mambwe bought a beer from her home shop and thereafter sat right behind the same store.
