A TEENAGE maid from Daylesford Suburb in Gweru has been
arrested for allegedly indecently assaulting her employer’s seven-year-old
daughter.
The 19-year-old accused who cannot be named for ethical
reasons appeared briefly yesterday before Gweru Magistrate Mr Edwin Marecha
facing one count of aggravated indecent assault.
She was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to
May 13.
It is the State’s case that between April 18 and April 25
at a house in Mkoba 6 Suburb in Gweru, the accused allegedly removed the
complainant’s underpants, mounted her and caressed her private parts without
her consent.
The court heard that the complainant who is a Grade 2 pupil
at a local school and the accused used to sleep in the same room and on the
same bed.
On April 26, the court heard that the complainant felt pain
from her private parts and told her mother.
The complainant’s mother, the court heard, reported the
matter to the police leading to the arrest of her maid. Appearing before the same court was Aison Moyo (18) facing
one count of robbery.
Moyo was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to
May 13.
The court heard that on March 28, Moyo, a gold panner, was
in the company of fellow panners Menzi Moyo and Elfas Kombayi who are still at large
when they allegedly proceeded to Mlangeni Bar in Lower Gweru around 11PM.
Moyo and his friends saw the complainant who was drinking
beer. They allegedly dragged him out of the bar and ganged up on him and
punched him repeatedly.
Moyo allegedly searched the complainant’s pockets and took
$500 from him. They then allegedly shoved him back into the bar before
disappearing into the night.
The matter was reported to the police leading to Moyo’s
arrest. His two accomplices are still at large.
