Sexual Offences Act: Attempted Rape, Section 4

Unsuccessful rape is also an offense. After the previous article’s definition of rape, attempted is nearly serious as rape with the difference of 5 years in prison in reference to the least conviction.

The kenyan law states: 

  1. Attempted rape
    Any person who attempts to unlawfully and intentionally commit an act which causes penetration with his or her genital organs is guilty of the offence of attempted rape and is liable upon conviction for imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than five years but which may be enhanced to imprisonment for life.
