A 14-year-old girl in chief Pembamoyo’s area in Vubwi district in Eastern Province, has conceived after being allegedly defiled by her fellow teenage lover of the same chiefdom. The victim, who is currently four months pregnant, was defiled by a 17-year-old boy who also hails from the same village. Eastern Province Police Commanding Officer, Robertson Mweemba has confirmed the development to the media in a statement, noting that the matter was reported by the victim’s grandmother.“The grandmother, aged 37-years noticed that her granddaughter was pregnant, took her to the police station where she was given a police medical report form and was taken to the hospital where it was discovered that she was four months pregnant,” he said.Brief facts of the matter are that the victim had been in a relationship with the offender for three months.“They have been in this relationship from September 2025 and the suspect had unprotected carnal knowledge of the victim on several occasions,” he noted.A docket has since been opened and no arrest has been made yet.Meanwhile, Vubwi District Commissioner, Given Sakala has issued a firm warning to would-be-defilers saying the government has stiffened laws surrounding defilement.Mr Sakala noted that defilers will be dealt with without fear or favour.He has since called on residents to report any violation of children’s rights to the police, whom he also urged to be vigilant.“When it comes to the issue of defilement, in fact, to any violation of children’s rights, the police are on standby to pick offenders,” he noted.In Zambia, defilement attracts a minimum sentence of 15-years imprisonment, which can extend to life imprisonment.This is in accordance with Section 138(1) of the Penal Code and Chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.
