A shocking case of sexual abuse has been reported in Lusaka’s Emmasdale area, where a 57-year-old pastor is alleged to have impregnated his 14-year-old stepdaughter.

The victim’s mother had passed away two years ago, leaving her in the care of the pastor.

Now, at just 14 years old, the young girl has been forced into a marriage with her stepfather and is currently 21 weeks pregnant.

The incident has caused outrage and condemnation from various sections of society, with many calling for swift and decisive action to be taken against the perpetrator.
