Man Jailed 12 Years For Raping A Deaf Teenager
Dec 1st 2012, 21:40

A 35-YEAR-OLD man from Zimbabwe will live to rue the day he impregnated a 15-year-old deaf girl.

The man will languish in jail for the next 12 years. The accused, Believe Tshuma, appeared before Hwange Provincial Magistrate Colet Ncube for contravening section 65 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act chapter 9:23 (rape).

The circumstances as presented by the prosecutor are that between the period extending from 10 September to 25 November the Juvenile was left alone at her home.

It is said the accused got to the complainant's homestead and found her alone.

He took advantage of the opportunity and forced the juvenile to lie down and raped her.

He forcibly had sexual intercourse without the minor's consent. However, his joy came to a halt when he was caught red-handed on the act by the minor's brother who is 12 years old.

The accused then threatened to kill the brother if ever he reported the matter, but still the brother went ahead and told their grand-mother on the same day, but the grandmother kept the "secret".

The matter came to light after a month when the complainant began throwing up and having a terrible headache. She was taken to the hospital where a medical examination proved that she was pregnant.

Tshuma pleaded guilty to the charges saying he was prepared to marry the girl but the magistrate had no sympathy for him and sentenced him to 12 years with hard labour.
