Use of Cell Phones and MPESA Transactions to Track, Arrest, and Prosecute Perpetrators of Sexual Violence in Kenya

Technology has become an essential instrument in the battle against sexual abuse, providing courts with evidence to serve victims, especially women. Although its importance is expanding, little is known about how mobile phones and financial technologies like MPESA are used to prosecute sexual abuse. Kenya uses these technologies to track, arrest, and convict offenders. This paper examines their efficacy and limits. Kenya High Court rulings, interviews with victims, legal experts, family members, and secondary data sources were used for this continuing study. According to the research, photos, videos, and transactional data have undermined criminals' witch-hunt justifications. The rapid arrest, prosecution, and conviction of offenders makes mobile technology increasingly crucial in pursuing justice.
