Chuka Law Courts Resident Magistrate Oscar Chess Kinyua made the ruling on Tuesday after the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.
The court heard that the accused defiled the same girl while out on bond for the initial defilement offence.
The prosecution team presented testimonies from four witnesses in the case, including a doctor as well as the investigating officer.
“Among the evidence produced were the birth certificate, P3 form, PRC form, treatment notes proving the age of the victim, and evidence of defilement,” the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) said in a statement.
