| Kenyan Male nurse charged with raping boy |
|
|
A nurse caring for a physically and mentally impaired 14-year-old Bucks County boy is accused of raping the teen in April, according to police.
Fred Magondu, 36, a Kenyan national living on King Arthur Road in Philadelphia, was taken into custody at a Philadelphia nursing home Thursday afternoon and later arraigned on charges of molesting a child who was in his care.
Police said they learned of the rape April 30. The boy receives 24-hour nursing care because he is mentally and physically impaired, unable to speak and blind, police said. According to court records, another individual care nurse, who has been caring for the boy for about nine years, discovered injuries to the boy when she attempted to change his diaper after he arrived at school April 30.
The boy was first examined at St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown and then transferred to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Doctors at both hospitals told police the boy was bleeding and bruised.
Police learned that Magondu, a Harleysville Pediatrics employee who has been caring for the boy for several months, was working at the victim's home from April 29 to 30. Magondu was allegedly alone with the boy from 5 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before putting him on the bus to school, police said.
Investigators interviewed Magondu in early May at an unnamed Philadelphia nursing home where he works, according to court records. Magondu said that on April 30 the boy had been bleeding but the nurse believed it was a physical problem and had changed a set of soiled linens. Police collected a sample of Magondu's DNA and the boy's bed linens and sent them to National Medical Services for analysis.

In a report to police June 6, the laboratory said the linens tested positive for semen that matched Magondu's DNA and that the possibility of it being from another unrelated person was 1 in 7 trillion, according to court records.
Magondu was arraigned on multiple charges of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with minors and sent to Bucks County prison on $250,000 bail. If he is released, the judge ordered that Magondu have no contact with the child and surrender his passport to authorities.
Magondu has been a practical nurse since June 2006 and had renewed his license earlier this month, according to Department of State records. Those records list no prior disciplinary action. He also has an expired graduate permit that lists a prior address in Falls. During his arraignment Magondu told the judge he moved to Philadelphia from Fairless Hills with his wife and three children in January. He has no prior criminal record in Pennsylvania, according to state records.
The newspaper is withholding information about the teen to protect his identity.

06-19-2008 12:35, , Guest I am sorry but despite the so called toxicology reports, something smells fishy over here. Sometimes facts may be hard to argue against but something tells me that this is farfetched. The guy being Kenyan and already has a wife and kids, I would think that is the last thing he would think of. If it was girl in his care, I may have fallen for it but this.....{{{{{rubbing nose}}}}} smells bad. » Reply to this comment... » See all 1 replie(s)
06-18-2008 17:44, , Guest As I read the story, I thought it could easily pass for fiction until I got the part that says that the analysis from the National Medical Services (NMS) returned a "guilty" verdict based on DNA Match. The NMS labs are nationally renowned for their competence in toxicology and forensic testing. I do not want to sound pessimistic but it might prove very difficult for the suspect to exonerate himself. Most DNA cases that have been prosecuted in the recent past have ended up incriminating the suspects. How I wish this, somehow, will turn out to be a mistake. The whole story is so shame! » Reply to this comment...
06-18-2008 10:19, , Guest How certain can we be that this is not a defamation on racial grounds? Can the investigators prove that they did not manipulate or tamper with the sources of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt? More needs to be investigated. The child is deaf and dumb, blind, physically and mentally impaired meaning that he cannot be relied on to testify and this is what some malicious and unscrupulous humanbeings can use so as to plunge others into problems. God was, is and will always be omnipresent. Everything is laid bare before him to whom we shall all give account.
