A 48-YEAR-OLD Marondera primary school teacher, who
allegedly cornered a Grade Six pupil in a storeroom before fondling her
breasts, has appeared in court facing indecent assault charges.
The teacher denied the charge and magistrate Arnold Maburo
postponed the matter to February 11 for continuation of trial.
According to court papers, sometime in September last year,
at around 4pm, the accused called the complainant to his classroom and ordered
her to pack his bread in a plastic bag stashed in the storeroom. It is alleged
that the complainant complied and notified the teacher that she had packed the
bread.
It is alleged that the teacher then told complainant that
she had not packed the bread well and ordered her back into the storeroom. It
is alleged he followed the juvenile into the storeroom and fondled her.
The juvenile later told her friends about the incident
before alerting her parents, who then escorted her to file a police report. Augustine
Mugari represented the State. Newsday
