Zim Now Writer

An 18-year-old Mvurwi man, Brian Kanyemba was sentenced to a year in jail by Magistrate Elisha Singano for having sex with a minor in the bush twice.

Kanyemba was taken to Bindura regional magistrates’ courts facing two counts of having sex with a minor.

Singano suspended six months on condition of good behaviour the remaining six were commuted to 210 hours of community service at Brandon Secondary school.

Prosecuting, Edward Katsvairo told the court that sometime in 2022 the convict met the girl on her way to church and dragged her into the bush before having sex with her.

He told the girl not to tell anyone about the incident.

He repeated the same tactics when she was coming from school during the same period.

The matter came to light in August last year when the girl developed a sleeping habit.

Her mother quizzed her and she revealed the incidents to her.

The mother escorted her to the police station where they filed a police report.
