A forty-five year old John Galula who was arrested in September last year for raping a 10-year-old girl at AIC Torit compound was sentenced to four years jail starting from November 26, 2018.
President of the High Court in Torit State Ubachi De Jong declares that the perpetrator is to pay 40, 000 as general compensation to the victim, Radio Emmanuel reports.
The Judge adds that the offender has enough evidence that led to his imprisonment in accordance to 2008 Penal Code.
He says the convict is supposed to pay forty thousand SSP but says the offender has no support to run the case.
Jacob Atari Albano of Support Peace Initiative Development Organization Legal aid officer appreciates the step taken by the judge.
He calls on the community and those in need of free legal services to report so as to know their rights.
According to Atari his organization is advocating for eleven different cases and this is the first that has come up with trial.
