A man from Mungate Village who was bitten on his manhood as a minor he was raping tried to free herself from him, has appeared in court.

Edson Gada, of Mungate Village, Chief Chinamhora, appeared before magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts accused of raping a 15-year-old minor.

The State, through prosecutor, Tawanda Nyandoro, alleges that, on May 7, at around 1800 hours, the complainant was walking alone going home from her hair dresser.

As she walked, Gada was following her from behind with another unknown person.

Gada whistled as a way of trying to stop the complainant, but she did not respond.

The complainant started to run away from these men, but the two ran after her which caused her to fall down.

Gada went and pressed the girl’s legs downwards, whilst his accomplice closed her mouth.

She screamed for help but noone responded.

The two carried the girl some few meters away, to a precast wall nearby and laid the complainant facing upwards.

Gada’s accomplice maintained his hand on the mouth to ensure that the girl was not in a position to make any sound while Gada was laying himself on top of her.

Gada dropped his trousers to knee level and also the complainant's trousers and pant to the legs.

He the raped the girl.

During the act, the complainant bit Gada’s accomplice on the hand and he left his grip on her. She pushed Gada and bit him on his manhood.
She was able to flee from them after that.

When she reached home, she was crying and her mother asked her what had transpired and she narrated the ordeal to her who later escorted her to report to the police.

Gada was ordered to appear in court on June 13.
