For Better or Worse: Kenyan Woman Vows to Stick with Her 'Mzungu' Husband Accused of Defiling Minors in Nairobi
A Kenyan woman has defended her 65-year-old Dutch husband who is accused of sexually assaulting underage girls in Nairobi.
Speaking to the Daily Nation, Rachel Hans says that she believes her husband, Hans Vriens Egon Dieter, who was arrested in November 2018 for allegedly defiling three minors, is innocent.
The foreigner was arrested in Nairobi's Kasarani estate by detectives from the Child Protection Unit and Transnational Organized Crime Unit.
He is said to have defiled the three girls aged 8, 9 and 10 in 2016 before going into hiding.
Rachel says she was shocked to learn that Hans had previously been convicted with the same offenses in the Netherlands.
She further says that the arrest and charging of her husband have hugely disrupted their humble lives and their charity work of looking after street children.
Rachel reveals that she met the 65-year-old man in 2010 in Nairobi and dated him for two years before they got married.
“I knew Hans must have had a family back in his motherland and he had told me as much but I didn’t imagine he could be linked to such offenses as I’ve never seen him behave suspiciously,” she says.
"I was shocked by the charges and I’ve been struggling to know the truth because he still pleads his innocence,” Rachel explains from her home in Kitui.
Rachel, 33, says she doesn't regret marrying the Dutchman and has vowed to stick with him.
“Marriage is for better or worse. Here is a foreigner whom I’ve stayed with for 10 years now facing grave charges. The entire country including my home village may be against him but I’ve no choice other than to stick with him,” she notes.
She describes her husband as a humble man who is incapable of doing the things he's accused of, due to old age.
“I don’t know what happened to him before he came to Kenya because I’ve never visited the Netherlands since we got married but at his age, he’s less active sexually and incapable of engaging in such escapades."

Pedophiles tend to have an affinity to kids environment and it is not surprising he came to Kenya for "charity work" helping children. He married a gullible woman to keep his evil motives underwrap. Same as how a good number of pedophiles are attracted to priesthood in order to have unlimited access to children. Sickening.

Well now you know. He molested kids there,then escaped to Kenya. Hey wake up woman,and educate yourself on what sexual molesting of kids is.Your husband does not have to have an erect penis.Shame on you.I hope that he has not molested your young relatives,and that you are covering for him,because of the cash he is shelling.Please dont be blind to the facts as distasteful as they may be to you. Think of these innocent children,if you are truly concerned with kids welfare.

Why this issue takes this long to have the gova vet any of these foreign monsters before they are allowed to work with our kids? It would be very simple, just ask them to bring a background check to the interview if there is any interview at all.
Western countries have a great way of keeping records of such monsters, and would likely be readily available. Our children keep losing their innocence through ignorant Kenyan authorities and adults managing the recruitment of these bastards!
