Senior police Intelligence Officer, Gilbert Arinaitwe’s troubles are far from over, after a medical examination conducted on the 18-year-old girl accusing him of rape confirmed that she was indeed sexually abused.
On Monday, the rape victim appeared before the Criminal Investigations Directorate at Kibuli together with her mother and recorded a statement implicating Arinaitwe.
A source at Kibuli who spoke to us on condition of anonymity, revealed that the medical examination report released on Sunday shows that the girl was sexually abused. Police spokesperson, Asan Kasingye has also confirmed that the girl was abused, adding that whoever was involved well be held to account.
"This young girl needed help and it's so unfortunate that someone took advantage of her. We are not hiding anything. We are going to investigate the matter to its conclusion," Kasingye said.
Besigye’s tormentor, Arinaitwe was arrested on Friday evening last week and locked up in Railways police cells for allegedly raping the school girl whom he met at the Criminal Investigations Directorate headquarters in Kibuli.
He reportedly hoodwinked the school girl into meeting him in undisclosed location in Nakawa, a Kampala suburb where he raped her. Preliminary investigations show that Arinaitwe met the victim at CID headquarters in Kibuli, a week ago and took her contacts.
It is alleged that the victim and her mother had gone to Kibuli to meet detectives in the Family Protection Unit. The mother had wanted officers to advise her daughter because she was losing concentration in her studies.
In 2011, Arinaitwe made into the news when he brutalized Dr. Kiiza Besigye, the former Forum for Democratic Change party President during the walk to work demonstrations at Mulago roundabout.
He was captured on video smashing Besigye's windscreen before he pepper sprayed him directly in the eyes leading to his transfer to Nairobi for treatment. He was suspended following wide spread condemnation and was charged with assault.
However, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions exonerated Arinaitwe in 2013 on grounds that he acted in line with the provision of the Police Act and the Penal code. Arinaitwe also hit the news recently when he appeared on TV ministering and performing healing miracles at Rubaga Miracle Center and Redeemed Church in Masajja.
