Soldier Jailed for 13 Months Over On-Duty Sexual Intercourse Incident

The Division Court Martial in Gulu has sentenced a Uganda People’s Defence Fores (UPDF) soldier to 13 months in jail for failing to report his subordinate who had sexual intercourse while on duty.

Chaired by Col. Innocent Tukashaba, court heard that the convict, Corporal Charles Drameli, in July 2024 allowed his subordinate, Lance Corporal Byaruhanga to engage in a sexual act with an unidentified woman while on duty.

Prosecution told court that the convict who was deployed as commander to guard an armory, never took any action to report or reprimand Byaruhanga despite seeing him and the said woman in a nearby tent.

The incident at the tent was captured on a nearby CCTV unit.

Earlier Thursday (September 12, 2024), Tukashaba sentenced Drameli to 13 months in jail and also demoted him from the rank of a Corporal to a Private.
