The accused appeared before Bulawayo Western Commonage regional
magistrate, Mrs Sibongile Marondedze, who remanded him in custody to today.
Prosecuting, Ms Melisa Dube said the alleged sexual assault
occurred when the accused found the woman sleeping in her bedroom sometime last
year. “The accused person found the complainant sleeping in her bedroom and
broke the window pane to gain entry,” she said.
The woman woke up and demanded to know what Ishmael was
doing in her room. “The accused forcibly removed the complainant’s clothes and
raped her. He ordered her not to disclose her ordeal amid threats,” said Ms
Dube.
The matter came to light when the woman’s guardians found
out that she was pregnant, and she revealed the rape after being interrogated.
A report was made to the police leading to the man’s
arrest. Chronicle
