Police in Kisumu rounded up a group of 30 youths after they were caught in a sex-binge in a secluded house in Seme, Kisumu county. The teenagers, who were high on drugs and alcohol, were apparently enjoying a birthday party when the situation systematically turned hot and sexy.
Neighbours called police following disturbing “party noise” that accompanied booming music. When police arrived at the scene, Eunice Odhiambo, the house owner, was immediately taken into custody together with the youths.
According to Eunice, police scaled the parameter wall at her compound, broke in through the roof and gained entry into her bedroom through the ceiling.
At the time of the party, Eunice told reporters that she was asleep when she heard police banging her door before surprising her in the bedroom.
According to Bryan Hope, a student, the mushrooming of sex parties across the country is a direct consequence of idleness brought about by the close-down of schools due to Covid-19 pandemic.
“I think what’s happening countrywide with my colleagues is something to do with idleness at home and influence from social media”, Bryan told Kisumu City News.
Bryan thinks that “students have nothing to do at home other than watching movies and spending time on social media.” This situation, he says, is fertile ground for wild imaginations.
The young boy told Kisumu City News that “there is a lot of stuff that one can get from the internet. With the introduction of tik-tok and likie, students have gotten into immoral behaviour because after all, they practice what they see.”
Since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out globally, teenage pregnancies, consumption of drugs and alcohol among students, immorality, over-consumption of social media material and the emergence of sporadic sex-parties across the country have all been on the increase.
A parent who rushed to the police station to rescue her 15-year-old daughter found her “almost naked” and later had to borrow money to bail her from the police cell. She did not know how her daughter reached Seme from Kisumu city centre.
Lucy Achieng, a mother of three, was of the view that to end the menace of sex parties across the country, schools must be re-opened.
“It has been good having my children at home, but it would be better if they can go back to school since they are doing nothing apart from watching TV and eating at home”, Lucy told Kisumu City News.
On the other hand, Bryan blamed parents for the current sex-party epidemic across the country, arguing that parents are the ones “spoiling” their children.
He said that “most parents never spend time with their children or even talk to their children about the trending issues which might affect them”.
According to Bryan, parents “buy us devices but care less about what we do with them. They don’t even care about what we do in our bedrooms” and then when a sex-party pops up, parents appear “shocked”, Brian said.
To try and address the crisis, Bryan advised parents to spend quality time with their children. ”we know you work a lot to provide for us, but at our age, we need you most, we need your advice, we need you to care about what we do in our private lives”, he concluded.
Barely two weeks ago, Mrs Milicent Githinji was arrested after she hosted 44 teenagers to a sex and booze party in her house located at Nairobi’s Mountain View Estate.
When police stormed her house, they discovered that the youths, who comprised 26 boys and 18 girls, were being exposed to pornography and drugs while used condoms were also found in the rooms.
Mrs Githinji and her accomplices were held at the Milimani Law Courts to allow police to complete their investigations.
