“Although her mitigation may be worth considering, the nature of the offense and aggravating factors outweighs her mitigation,” Lang’at said.

“This is a serious offense which needs deterrent nature, the boy had to be put on drugs to foresee any infection and at the time of testifying the drugs were really affecting him,” he added.
