He was accused of entering the bathroom while she was taking her bath. The girl was said to have started bleeding after the act. But, before his arraignment, Kingsley said he had no sexual relations with the girl.

He said: “I didn’t force myself on her. I asked her, she was aware of everything. I didn’t sleep with her but I made an attempt. I didn’t know she was bleeding.” He was arraigned on December 5 before Chief Magistrate O. Oshoniyi on one-count of “unlawful sexual intercourse.”
