🚨 🚨 PRESS STATEMENT 🚨 🚨 The Coalition Against Sexual Violence has taken note of the re-arrest of Terry Ray Kreigler on 9th November on accusations of defiling a 3 year old, his arraignment at Mavoko Law Courts where he took plea and was detained on 10th November as well as the court’s denial of his bail on 21st November 2023.   It is not lost on the Coalition, and the public at large, that this is not the first time that Kreigler has been charged in court with sexual offenses against children. The Coalition remembers that Kreigler Ray had previously been charged with the offense of child pornography contrary to Section 16 (1) (a) of the Sexual Offences Act in November of 2014. On his own guilty plea, he was convicted and after mitigation, was sentenced to a term of 50 (fifty) years. However, on appeal, Kreigler was released as the Court found that his own plea of guilt was not unequivocal and noted that it would be an injustice to refer his criminal case back to the trial court for retrial since he had already been in custody for a period of 8 years.   We call upon the investigative agencies as well as the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to ensure his speedy prosecution in order to secure justice for the victim. Under Article 29 (c) of the Constitution of Kenya, every person has the right to freedom and security of the person, which includes the right not to be subjected to any form of violence from either public or private sources. Article 21(3) of the Constitution also places an obligation on all State organs including the Judiciary to address the needs of vulnerable groups within society, including women. The right of women to be free from all forms of violence creates a corresponding duty to the State to take measures to protect women from violence.   In light of this, we as the Coalition Against Sexual Violence strongly demand that all agencies  involved fulfill their state due diligence obligation to prevent sexual violence, as well as protect survivors.   We believe that only through strict accountability and consequences can we successfully dismantle the deeply entrenched social and cultural norms that perpetuate violence.     Signed     Coalition Against Sexual Violence Lady, Wangu Kanja Wangechi L Wachira Gender Violence Recovery Centre Utu Wetu Flone Initiative KELIN Kenya ADVOCATES FOR SOCIAL CHANGE INC
