Dr Eron had a past record of defilement
Dr Lawrence Eron, the embattled lecturer of Kyambogo University who is now on the run over allegations of defiling a 16 year old visually impaired female student has a past record of sexual immoralities involving minors.
Born in Alido Village, Alido Parish in Chawente Subcounty in the then Apac District now in Kwania District joined government service in early 90s as a primary school teacher.
He first came on spot in 1998 when he was a primary school teacher at one of the primary schools in Apac District when he was accused of luring a female pupil into sexual intercourse.
A source that preferred not to be named revealed that Eron had godfathers at Apac District education department and he maneuvered with the case and he escaped narrowly.
The number of minors he had sexually abused could be more than some few cases reported given the fact that he could have committed others but not been caught.
Mr Steven Opio, a resident of Alido Village in Chawente Subcounty who said that he grew up with Dr Eron said that Eron was a very well disciplined person at the time he grew up but when he started working his behaviors changed.
“During the time we were growing up he was very humble but sometimes along the way I also heard that he was involved in some defilement case though that case didn’t go for so long,” he said.
Alfred Oyuru 67, a resident of Apac Municipality said that the defilement case in which Eron was involved died along the way after he negotiated the case with the parent of the victim.
“When he committed that defilement I was a parent at Apac P7 School and he was one of our teachers but the minor was not a pupil of that school. He paid it heavily and around the year 2000 he disappeared, then I just heard that he was employed at Kyambogo University,” he said.
