A POLICE officer has been sentenced to 17 years imprisonment with hard labour for raping and impregnating a 13-year-old girl who went to seek refuge at a police station.

Maxwell Ludaka, of house number MD/3 Sikalangwe Police Camp in Mufulira, had sex with the minor, a pupil, in 2020.

The girl, who resides in Chambeshi, had gone to visit her grandmother, who lives in Kamuchanga Township in Mufulira, when the man of the law took advantage of the situation.
