TWO women from Gweru were
arrested for allegedly luring a 14-year-old boy to have sex with them on
various occasions.
One of the women allegedly offered the minor sex to stop
him from telling anyone that he saw her having bush sex with an unnamed man.
The second woman lured the boy to a river bank where she
became intimate with him, before regularly having sex with him.
Tendai Masiya (26) and Simeleni Moyo (20) from Nhema
Village appeared before Gweru Magistrate Ms Beaulity Dube facing various counts
of aggravated indecent assault.
The two pleaded not guilty and they were remanded to
tomorrow for trial. It is the State case
that last year on a day unknown to the prosecutor, the complainant (name
withheld to protect his identity) went hunting with his friend from Bvunge
plots around sunset.
The complainant, said the prosecutor Ms Gladys Rongai, saw
Masiya with a man only identified as a worker at Bvunge homestead having sexual
intercourse in the bush.
The court heard that
on a different day the complainant passed by Masiya’s house going to the forest
when she called him.
“The accused asked the complainant not to tell anyone about
what he saw and in return she would also have sexual intercourse with him,” she
said.
The complainant came
back on a different day to get his promised intercourse and this ended up as a
routine. The complainant would visit Masiya and they had sexual intercourse on
various occasions.
Ms Rongai told the court that last year on a day unknown,
the complainant was coming from an all-night prayer when he passed by the shops
where Moyo worked.
Moyo, the court heard, asked the complainant to accompany
her to the river and he agreed. The complainant tripped on his shoe lace and
fell that’s when the accused allegedly mounted him and had sexual intercourse
with him.
The abuse only came
to light after Masiya accused the complainant of stealing a memory card and he
ran away from home. A manhunt was conducted and the complainant after being
caught was questioned resulting in him revealing the sexual abuse by the
accused duo.
The matter was reported to the police leading to the arrest
of Masiya and Moyo. The complainant was
medically examined and the medical report would be produced as an exhibit in
court. Chronicle
