The High court in Kampala has set free a 75 year old man who was charged with  aggravated defilement.

This after Sozi Godfrey  asked for forgiveness and pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated defilement of a 7 year old neighbor's daughter.

Mzee Sozi who was unable to walk and was just carried to court by his fellow inmate asked High court Judge Margret Tibulya to have mercy on him and release him to go and die from home.

Court documents show that Sozi suffers from HIV/AIDs.

Justice Tibulya  has been lenient enough to sentence Mzee Sozi to time spent on remand  which is three years having been jailed in November 2021 at the age of 72 years .

Mzee Sozi also  promised the judge  never to have sexual intercourse with another underage girl.
