A Gokwe man (20) has been ordered to perform 420 hours of community service after his love affair with a 15-year-old girl was nipped in the bud.
The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPA) said the offender appeared before a Gokwe Magistrates Court facing charges of having s*xual int*rc*urse with a young person.
Court records indicate the affair began sometime in May 2025.
The victim had gone to watch a football match in Mwemba village.
“Whilst waiting for the match to commence she went to the offender’s residence where she was invited to the bedroom and had s*xual int*rc*urs*.
“The pair continuously engaged in sexual activities numerous times,” said NPA.
However the matter came to light when the victim’s young sister saw the offender sneaking out of her sister’s room from a sleep*ver.
She reported the matter to her parents leading to the offender’s arrest.
“The offender was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment of which six months were suspended for five years.
“12 months were suspended on condition that the offender performs 420 hours of community service.”
