Although the convict during the trial, admitted having carnal knowledge of the girl, he, however, denied getting her pregnant, claiming he was seduced.
Chief Magistrate, Rita Oguguo, in her judgment, said the prosecution was able to prove their case that the girl was defiled through evidence and personal admission of the accused.
