A secondary school principal in Malindi sub-county has been arrested for allegedly defiling a form four student.
Athman Aden, head teacher Mere secondary school, reportedly lured the girl on her way home and spent a night with her at Watamu location two weeks ago.
Police raided the school on Wednesday and arrested the principal who was later locked up at the Malindi police station waiting to be taken to court.
A source at the school told the Star that the teacher asked the girl to wait for him after the students were released for a mid-term break.
"On that day, the teacher told the girl they would spend the night in Watamu where they allegedly had sexual intercourse."
"After spending the night, he dropped her at Kwachocha area and called the girl's parents to pick their daughter," the source said.
The parents reportedly took the girl to the police station and later conducted tests at the Malindi sub-county hospital which revealed she was defiled.
Malindi OCPD Matawa Muchangi said they are gathering more evidence to present before court.
The teacher was taken to court on Thursday.
