    A Kenyan court has on Friday handed a 15-year jail sentence to an American man accused of defiling three minors. The man Jon Cardon Wagner, the founder of Kenya's famous Java coffee house chain of restaurants, was found guilty of defiling the under-age girls at his Nairobi's Lavington home between June 5 and 7, last year.

    Nairobi Senior Principal Magistrate Teresia Ngugi said the accused paid two women, who were also sentenced ten years each, $500 to bring the 13-year-old and two 14-year-olds girls to his luxurious house

    The two ladies were found guilty of 'exposing the children to prostitution'.

    Wagner was put on his defence in March after the court ruled that he had a case to answer.

    His lawyer, Mohammed Nyaoga said his client is a victim of an extortion racket, vowing to appeal the jail sentence.
