A 20-YEAR OLD Harare man reportedly raped and impregnating his brother’s 15-year- old daughter.
The man, from Glen View 3 in Harare, appeared before Harare regional magistrate Mr Noel Mupeiwa. He was remanded in custody. Mr Mupeiwa advised him to apply for bail at the High Court.
The court heard that the 15-year-old girl is now seven months pregnant. The prosecutor Ms Tinashe Makiya is alleging that the man went into the girl’s room at night sometime last year and started fondling her breasts.
The girl threatened to scream and the man fled. He later took advantage of the absence of the girl’s parents and raped the minor. The court heard that the incestuous relationship continued until August this year.
It is alleged that on August 8, the girl’s father suspected that his daughter was pregnant. He ordered the girl’s mother to examine her.
The girl opened up to her mother leading to her uncle’s arrest.
