Dismissed deputy Kyambogo University Vice Chancellor for finance and administration, Dr Eron Lawrence, sedated a visually impaired 16-year-old secondary student and defiled her, the State told court on Wednesday.

In the summary of evidence presented to the Nakawa Chief Magistrates Court presided by Christine Nantege, the State Wednesday stated that the victim with other three girls, jointly with Dr Eron, came from a conference in Nairobi, Kenya through Entebbe Airport on October 9, 2023.

It is alleged that upon arrival at Entebbe Airport, the then senior lecturer ar Kyambogo University offered to drop each of the girls to their respective destinations. The victim told him to drop her at TUSU petrol station in Namugongo, where her people would pick her.

According to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Dr Eron instead offered to drop the victim to her home saying “he had something to tell her while seated in the co-driver’s seat.”

It is alleged that when the girl told Dr Eron that she was feeling thirsty, he gave her a bottle of water to quench her thirst which made her black out and by the time she regained her senses, she found herself in the back seat of the parked vehicle.
