An alleged ex-convict known only as "Maranda" may have been responsible for the rape of five-year-old Peris Akoth at the beginning of this year, in Kenya. Then again, he may not. However, the case has already become a rallying point for anti-rape campaigners who claim that abuses such as the one visited on Peris would be less likely to occur if Kenya had adequate legislation on the books. While a person found guilty of rape may end up with life imprisonment, there is no minimum sentence for the crime -- something activists are intent on changing.
