A 49-year-old man, who raped his 12-year-old neighbour has been taken to court.
Taurai Dube, 49, of Hopley Zone 5, Waterfalls, appeared before the Harare Magistrates' Courts charged with rape.
He was denied bail and was ordered to apply for bail at the High Court.
The complainant in this matter is a 12-year-old juvenile.
The State alleges that on November 3, around 2000 hours, the complainant went to Dube’s house where she slept with his eight-year-old daughter.
Dube asked the complainant to come his bedroom so that he could give her a mosquito repellent.
When the complainant was about to leave the room, Dube dragged her to his bed.
He allegedly removed her clothes and started fondling her breasts and her private part.
The matter came to light on December 7 when Dube’s wife discovered a note that had been written by the complainant stating that she had been raped by Dube.
The wife then told the complainant’s aunt about the incident, leading to the reporting of the matter to the police.
