This level of wickedness is totally sickening. I mean children that
are already disadvantaged you now also sexually abuse them?
According to the Guardian UK:
A British former public-school teacher was on Tuesday found guilty of
sexually abusing young Kenyan street children after luring them to his
lavish home with offerings of food, money and the promise of
education.
Simon Harris, who ran an educational charity in the east African
country, would pick up boys in his Land Rover and take them back to
his home, known as the Green House, where he subjected them to
terrifying and humiliating sexual abuse.
At the Green House he would sexually abuse the boys and threaten them
with death if they told anyone what he had done to them. The court
heard he would beat some with sticks, ply them with alcohol and drugs
and even urinate in their mouths.
Among the complainants was Michael Kamondia, who told police he had
been raped by Harris when he was 15. He died earlier this month after
giving evidence.
Police described Harris as a calculating and prolific offender, who
for more than a decade targeted some of the most vulnerable children
in Kenya. They said there could be many more victims there.
Harris was exposed in a Channel 4 Unreported World documentary, which
led to a British police investigation.
Harris came up with the idea of running a charity in Kenya – called
VAE – giving young British people the chance to teach local children
during gap years.
Before the trial, Harris admitted indecently assaulting three teenage
pupils in the 1980s at a private school, Shebbear College in Devon,
where he taught Latin. He had also served a 15-month jail term after
being convicted in 2009 of possessing indecent images of children.
Harris was convicted of three indecent assaults and five sexual
assaults, with one of his five victims as young as nine. He was also
found guilty of four charges of possessing indecent images of
children. He was acquitted of 10 other sex offences and another charge
of possessing an indecent image.
Harris will be sentenced in the new year."
