The charges state that on various dates between October 19 and October 24, at Kapletundo, he unlawfully took the minor to her house in Kapkoros, Bomet Central, where he defiled her.
Korir is also facing two additional counts, including abduction with the intent to confine her, in violation of Section 258 of the Penal Code, which accuses him of secretly and unlawfully confining the minor.
