Law Student Accuses High Court Judge Momoh-Jah Stevens of Sexual Exploitation
Julius Mustapha Harding Miss Edwina Hawa Jamiru, a 19-year-old second-year law student at Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone, has made explosive allegations against Justice Momoh Jah Stevens, a senior judge at the Sierra Leone High Court.
In a video circulated on a WhatsApp group, Jamiru accused Justice Stevens of engaging in a long-term romantic relationship with her, impregnating her, and subsequently abandoning her and their unborn child.
In her statement, Jamiru described their relationship as one of trust and intimacy, alleging that the judge exploited her under the guise of a loving relationship. “We were lovers, boyfriend and girlfriend, and we had been together for years. I thought he was a responsible man because of his position as a judge, but he used me for his sexual pleasure,” she said in the video.
Jamiru claimed the relationship began at City Hall, where she and Justice Stevens would frequently meet. She said she was drawn to him because of his outward appearance of responsibility, adding that his respected position within the judiciary misled her into believing he would act honorably.
Now a young law student aspiring to uphold justice, Jamiru expressed her dismay over the alleged actions of someone she considered a role model. “As a woman of justice and truth, I have always believed in the judiciary as a symbol of hope. It is heartbreaking that men like Justice Stevens are part of it,” she stated.
Jamiru further alleged that when she informed Justice Stevens of her pregnancy, he refused to take responsibility. “He told me he never loved me and only used me to satisfy his sexual desires,” she claimed, questioning the integrity of a man tasked with upholding justice.

Everything is business, just business, but there will come a time that all will be judged justly. Be whoever u want,u can’t escape the most high.enjoy and continue with hate and wickedness, u will reap what u sow
This is what people have who are looking for opportunities, she fell in love with him as alleged because of his status as a judge, very funny my dear.
It is good that you have learned a lesson from your stupid decision that you took to be a relationship with a man because of prominency. You don’t need to be in a love with a man because of a condition because once that condition is not there, you are going to definitely quit the relationship. You a good example for the remaining women.
Hmmmm. Fear women! Another invited trouble!
Big lesson for some of you young women craving after readymade connections. Many will now say you aim to destroy the career of that man, but I advice you to seek for a DNA test, then forward your case so that no amount of manipulation can stop you from getting justice.
Kudos to the both of you
My dare go and do more

Next thing l hear notifications from my phone that I’m live on Facebook 😭😢
what was that agreement between you and him ?
Too sad, but as a senior civil rights activists, I must ensure justice prevail as what’s rightfully needed to be done.
Young lady, I think you have learned your lesson now . At your age you were running after a judge for sex and money instead of trying to build your career or vision of becoming a lawyer. You are not even wise enough.
Young lady I hope you have all it takes to come up with such allegations
We forward your case dear
I see most of the comments are against her but you all failed to understand she was a young girl and she was manipulated. Men do that all the time?
Men like the suspect are all over our society and they need to be put down. What is a man of that calibre and age gap doing with a 19-year-old girl?
It could have been your daughter or someone related to you, so be careful how you address situations. Now, she is a barrister, she knows what to do.
According to your statement my dear you said the man is a well married man and you go there to break innocence lady home because if he knew that that man is a married man you should know how to prevent yourself I believe that you plan to break home and now you deceive yourself God will not allow you to break that home that’s why
Stupid girl! This is what they do to tarnish high profile people using sex! You threw yourself to the man because of his success and tempted him! What do you want now?, Marriage??! 😂 Or to share his property with you 🤔😳
From all the explanations given, you have enjoyed a lot of facilities from the man and just because he has denied you the fact of breaking his home, you’ve decided to publicize what you have been sharing.
What have you been thinking all along?
Did it ever cross your mind of the illegal relationship you’ve been into all in the name of pursuing your selfish desire?
Besides you’re an adult and think you should be responsible for your actions and stop denting the image of the man here.
You were at liberty to find your own relationship but yet denied for the desires you get from the man and cannot handle the outcome now. Why???
Be in relationship with young feature guy and you denied to love with them, because of high court judge man. Ok oh now you done see the initial repercussions of loving some of this big big man na salon. Any ways my dear if na true you tok God go help you, but if you dae lie pa the pa God dae listen you.
May justice be given to you my dear sister
In case you don’t know Edwina, let me tell you a bit about her. She has mental disorders. Go to her former school, HRSS, and ask about her. She is just too insensitive and despicable. I know her personally. Edwina was 17 when I knew her. She even paid me a visit in Freetown, because she considered me a mentor.
I am not here to contest the truth of her accusations. However, I urge you to first of all try to know her better, and even try to confirm if she has a child. That girl whom I taught the English is capable of saying anything.
See you❗so now she is mentally disturb, God is watching your tongue 🤪
I hope you are saying the truth and if it is true then I pray you get the justice you need. But I am very much afraid of the country we are living today.
What a Sierra Leone we called our beloved country.
Heavenly Father, safe this nation
He was just honest with you. I see no crime and no need of you taking this to the public. You just exposed your selfish, greedy and evil nature.
You want the justice to marry you and claims right to his assets (Wealth)
Is she not 19 yrs of age and she got the consent
You said you are 19 years and you have been with this man some years now , so my question is what was your age when you met each other. I guess you were 16.😁😁. You @ 16-17 chasing high court judge. And a high court judge chasing a 16 years old see the irony in this and a child below 18 is totally unable to consent to sex, to sex with a child is a crime and punishable by law
This is a disturbing case, and I’m eager to understand the facts. A 19-year-old law student, Edwina Hawa Jamiru, has accused Justice Momoh-Jah Stevens, a senior judge at the Sierra Leone High Court, of sexual exploitation. She claims they had a long-term romantic relationship, resulting in pregnancy, which he allegedly abandoned.
What’s striking is that Jamiru says their relationship began when she was underage, given that she’s 19 now and they’ve been together for years. This raises serious concerns about power imbalance, exploitation, and potentially, statutory rape.
Justice Stevens’ reputation as a judge who has sentenced others for similar crimes, including a case where he sentenced a man to five years in prison for circulating a sexual video without consent ¹, makes this accusation even more troubling.
I want to know more about this case. What evidence does Jamiru have to support her claims? How will Justice Stevens respond to these allegations? This case has sparked widespread outrage, and I’m eager to see how it unfolds.
Just listen to yourself ashawo, husband snatcher. When you were enjoying the relationship no one was informed but now it has gone bad you are here trying to tarnish the good name of the man. Did he force you? No. Are you a child? No. Why were you not using protection even when you were aware that the man is married? Everything you did was done on purpose. Your mission is to enter that man’s house and scatter everywhere. Instead of you to have focused on your studies, you were busy chasing a ready-made man, someone’s husband for that. You are a gold digger my dear. But I don’t blame you, I blame the guy for going down with such an ugly woman like you. I blame him for not controlling his sexual urge and for being stupid as Judge. Shame on you both – idiots!!!
