   A 17-year-old teenager, Matiyas Demeke Debela, was charged with   
   engaging in homosexual acts with his nephew and was sentenced to   
   14 years of jail on March 4th, 2014. The charge states that the   
   defendant violated the Criminal Code Article 631(1)(b) on an   
   unknown date. The defendant threatened the six-year old boy   
   telling him he would stab him if he said anything and repeatedly   
   raped him, the charge read.   
      
   After a proceeding that took more than two years, on March 4 the   
   Lideta Federal First Instance Court 7th Criminal Bench presiding   
   Judge Abeba Alemu sentenced the defendant to 14 years in jail   
   and banned him from any legal activity for four years after he   
   finishes his sentence.   
      
   The defendant argued denying the charges and brought four   
   witnesses to testify on his behalf. One of the witnesses was the   
   father of the victim. He insisted that his brother would never   
   do anything like that and that he would have known if he had   
   since they all live together. The neighbor and sister of the   
   defendant also added that since she rarely leaves the house, the   
   said act could not have been done. A long time friend of the   
   defendant also explained that the defendant's behavior doesn't   
   align with the act and that since they spend so much time   
   together he could not have done it.   
      
   On the other hand, witness of the public prosecutor and mother   
   of the victim, said that her son was living with his father and   
   told her not to get mad at him while explaining what the uncle   
   (defendant) had done to him. Even though there was no medical   
   evidence, the public prosecutor Kebkab Gizaw attached a psych   
   exam from Yekatit Hospital substantiating that there was a self   
   esteem issue with the victim.
