Ekerenyo police officers began watching the student and they cornered her at the mathematics and physics teacher’s house, which is near the school.
A police report said the two were found naked.
The two were taken to Ekerenyo Sub-County Hospital for medical tests before they were arrested.
Nyamira North sub-county Police Commander Patrick Ngeiywa told the said that the teacher was charged on Monday.
“He pleaded not guilty and was given a bond of Sh300,000 or a surety of the [same] amount,” Mr Ngeiywa said by phone.
The Saturday incident came slightly over a week after another teacher at a girls’ boarding primary school in the same county was said to have defiled his pupil.
Jared Masese, the school’s deputy headteacher, was charged in a Keroka court for allegedly defiling a Standard
Seven girl in his office in the evening as other pupils were at assembly. He was caught by a female teacher.
Some parents threatened to pull their children from the school.
