A pastor was on Friday convicted of defiling two minors aged 14 and 11 on diverse dates nine years ago.
The pastor was found guilty of defiling the two minors between December 24, 2014 and January 7, 2015.
The court heard that he defiled the children while using religious connotations and manipulations.
The man of cloth faced two counts of repeatedly defiling the children who were congregants at his church.
In a ruling delivered at the Milimani court, Principle Magistrate CM Njagi said evidence adduced in court proved the case against the pastor beyond reasonable doubt.
"In the circumstances, it is my finding that the prosecution evidence in this regard is watertight on counts 1 and 2 herein," he said.
"I find that the two minors were truthful witnesses and their evidence was corroborated by medical evidence. I do find that the prosecution proved their case to the required standard as against the accused person herein on the charge of defilement in counts 1 and 2. The accused person is convicted as charged as per the provisions of Section 215 of the CPC."
Njagi said that the accused person in his defence and throughout the trial raised issues of mental illness.
He, however, said medical examination established that the accused was fit to stand trial and set the date for his sentencing on August 8.
"In fact, it was in evidence that he was working as pastor of a church and also had a role in the Sacco. When he testified before the court, he told the court that he was aware he was facing charges of defilement," Njagi said.
The children were represented by the International Justice Mission.
