Emmanuel is accused of raping a 14-year-old girl. The High Court found him guilty and sentenced him to 20 years in prison, with a fine of 100,000 Frw. He appeals the decision before the Supreme Court, saying that the sentence should be reduced, as he had pleaded guilty, and that the High Court based its judgment on a birth certificate that contradicted the statement of the victim's father regarding the victim's age. Emmanuel also explains that he and the victim were planning to get married, and yielded to the temptation of having sex; however, the Court proceedings reveal he forcefully had sex with her, and tried bribing her parents not to report to the Police. After examining all arguments, the Court reduces the sentence to 7 years in prison, with a fine of 100,000 Frw.
