A group of six young men, aged between 20 and 26 years, accused of engaging in gay sex and recording pornographic videos, have been further remanded until May 10 for their own safety.

KAMPALA, UGANDA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Six youths from Jinja, aged between 20 and 26, who were arrested last month after a 17-second video of them having gay sex was shared on social media, have been further remanded in custody until May 10 for their own safety.

They were charged with indecency and procuring gross indecency and are being held in Kirinya prison. Despite presenting 12 sureties, including biological relatives, at their re-arraignment, their bail application was denied by Jinja Grade One Magistrate, Mr Yafesi Ochieng.

Safety concerns

The court cited safety concerns as its reason for denying bail, with Mr Ochieng stating that the court must protect the accused individuals, and that releasing them into a biased society cannot guarantee their safety.

According to the prosecution, the suspects are part of a sexual network grooming young boys into acts of sodomy and recruiting male adults into gay practices. It is also alleged that the suspects were recording pornographic and sex videos and streaming live sessions, which they submitted to donors for funding.

Evidence found at the time of arrest

When the suspects were arrested, they were allegedly found with 192 sachets of lubricants, shirts and tags with LGBTQ logos, and a metallic banner of peace and comfort with the LGBTQ flag.
