The accused  appeared before the Hwange Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday charged with rape and convicted for the same charge, following a trial.

According to the state, during the period between April and May, the accused person stayed with the complainant in Kamativi while their grandmother was away.

He took advantage of the grandmother’s absence, called the complainant to his room, and ordered her to lie on the bed.

He continued to have sexual intercourse with the complainant without her consent on several occasions.
