A United Kingdom court has handed an 18-year prison sentence to a British man convicted of raping two underage Kenyan girls.
In May, Keith Morris was found guilty of the offenses, which he allegedly committed while on a holiday at the Kenyan coast in 2016 and 2017.
The 72-year-old was found guilty of nine counts of child abuse by Leeds Crown Court following a trial where witnesses from Kenya testified through video link.
An investigation carried out jointly by NCA and Kenyan police established that Morris had visited a village in Kilifi, and “frequently took local children away for trips, where he would buy them gifts and stay with them in hotel rooms”.
“Under the guise of supporting Kenyan families, Keith Morris used his position of trust to abuse two young girls under his care,” Kate Hurst, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement.
“Both victims had the courage to describe what happened to them, including one victim giving evidence via video link from Kenya,” she added.
Morris was also found guilty of obstructing justice after it was established that he had transferred money to persons in Kenya “in exchange for helping him to prove his innocence”.
In defence, Morris told the court that he acted “like a parent” to the minors and that they “enjoyed” spending time with him in hotels for luxury.
On Monday, the court slapped him with the long prison term after finding him guilty of four counts of rape of a child under 16, three counts of sexual assault by penetration of a child under 16, two counts of sexual assault of a child under 16 and two counts of obstructing the course of justice.

If this pedophile was tried in Kenya, he would have walked Scot free to continue enganging in his pedopholia ways. Very shameful that the Western has to take it upon themselves to prosecute these crimes. I think all westerners who come into contact with minors should have background check done before contact cos some of these MFs are just sex offenders. In addition,all Kenyans parents selling their children out should be castrated and jailed if not bulleted.

@ Mugikuyu, Its a shame that some parents are eager to sale their children to Mzungu, because he has money. They have no idea of the fellow’s background,all they see is a cash cow,at the expense of their daughters.Iam sure some have,or would send their boys to gay mzungu.
Something has totally gone wrong with wafrika who do this kind of thing.They have become lazy,and sold their soul to the devil.Children have to be taught that if parents suggest immoral acts for money, they should run to the police,or tell their teacher if in school.Or run away from home…How could aparent live with this?

I agree and it is very painful. What kind of hunger ( if indeed it is) or even poverty would make one sell their flesh and blood out for money. For this to be happening in a Christian country or even Muslim, something must be very very wrong somewhere.

Ndugu, Ukiondoa dini tulizonazo za kigeni, tutaanza kutumia akili zetu na pia kuanza kuyatatua matatizo tuliyo nayo sasa. Karl Max alisema, ” …Dini ni kama kasumba/bangi ya umma.”
Kusema kweli, hamna tofauti na Mkristo, Mwislamu, mvuta bangi, au mtu anayetumia madawa ya kulevya. Wote wameacha wageni kutumia akili zao kwa manufaa na pia kwa raha za wageni.

I am a muzunga and married to a beautiful Kenyan lady only a few years younger than myself. when I see stories like this my blood boils. That paedophile will never be able to harm anymore children, but I fear this is only the tip of a very large ice berg. I have visited Kenya many times and because of a corrupt and shameful government the people do not share what should be a vibrant economy. Poverty makes it easy for rich tourists to take advantage of these vulnerable young children. These officials are just as guilty, just as if they were committing these abhorrent crimes themselves.

I fear this is a tip of a very large ice berg because of corruption of officials and miss-management of Kenyas wealth makes it possible for these sick and perverted paedophiles to move amongst a poverty ridden environment carry out their disgusting and abhorrent crimes against these vulnerable children.
