Seventeen-year-old girl rescued from custodial dad who "defiled" her (Bamunanika, Uganda)

Dad RICHARD OKUMU is being held at the police station, while "investigations" continue into his repeated "defilement (i.e. rape) of his 17-year-old daughter, who became pregnant and was forced into an abortion. No mention of the girl's mother. Sounds like this is essentially a custodial father, since the girl lived with him.
