The convict,
Emmanuel Magede, was found guilty when he appeared before Harare regional
magistrate Letwin Rwodzi and had his sentence doubled to 22 years in jail.
The court
considered the trauma suffered by the complainant, stressing that aggravated
indecent assault is not tolerated.
Rwodzi said the
courts should protect the rights of inmates.
She also said
Magede was not repentant since he was recently convicted of rape.
Prosecutor
Loveit Muringwa proved that on July 23, 2025, at around midday, Magede took
advantage of the complaint who had bent over while bathing and sodomised him.
Another
prisoner, Tinashe Muyambo, allegedly entered the bathroom and witnessed the
act.
“Muyambo then
told another inmate Antony Chambarambanda that he saw Magede having anal sexual
intercourse with the complainant in the bathroom,” the State said.
“Chambarambanda
went on to report the matter to Tafadzwa Nembaware, a prison officer, who
referred the matter until a police report was made.” Newsday
