A man in Uganda has been arrested over sexual assault allegations after recording himself with a teenage girl at a lodging and uploading the footage on TikTok.
According to The Monitor, Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga, Joseph Ngoma allegedly committed the act in an establishment in the Mubende District.
He was later apprehended in Kitintale, Kampala.
Enanga told the press that the teenager left home aboard Ngoma’s boda boda on May 4, 2023, for coaching when the rider branched off to his home in the pretence of picking some personal items.
“The suspect instead got a room and lured the victim to help him carry some of his properties for him. The victim was forcefully dragged into the lodge, where the suspect recorded her inside, calling her his wife. He went on and defiled the victim and told her to go back home,” the police spokesperson said.
The video went viral and sparked discussion on social media after Ngoma published it on the social media site four days later.
The Monitor says the victim’s mother saw the video and reported the incident to the police.
Enanga added that the lodge attendant has also been detained on suspicion of facilitating defilement.
