The offence was allegedly committed in Katwekera area of Kibera slums, according to the charge sheet.
The court also heard that the accused attempted to defile two other girls aged 12 and 14 year in the same area.

“ We ask the court to order one of the victims to be subjected to an age assessment and that the report be presented in court,” the prosecutor said.
The magistrate Ms Barabara Ojoo, ordered the girl to be taken to Mbagathi District hospital for age assessment.
