He submits that on the day the crime was committed, he went to the room where Teta Bithia was with her young brother, both asleep. He slowly entered into the blanket and inserted his penis into the girl's vagina and began to rape her. The girl tried to cry but he forced her to remain silent, and he went on raping her. The elder sister of the girl named Umutoni Claire entered the room while he was still raping her, and he came out running, and the girl also came out running.

Regarding his defense in lower courts where he pleaded that the girl’s mother was falsely accusing him because she tried to have sex with him without success, he indicates that he was lying based on bad advice from other inmates, and he also apologizes for it. 10. His lawyer Furaha Amida submits that Abisi Lambert does not challenge the High Court's decision, but only appears before the Court determined to be truthful, apologizing to the mother he falsely accused of trying to have sex with him, and asks the Court to accept his confession and reduce his sentence. 11. The Prosecution's representative states that Abisi Lambert's sentence should not be reduced because the rape of an eight-year-old (8) year-old girl by a twenty-five (25) years old man who moreover infected her with sexually transmitted infections according to a medical report constitute aggravating circumstances.
