A woman from Zimbabwe
who took advantage of their
19-year-old worker while
her husband was away at
work and forcibly became
intimate with him was
yesterday sentenced to 10
years in prison ..
The woman aged 54 pleaded
not guilty to aggravated
indecent assault, but was
convicted by senior Western
Division regional magistrate
Mr Owen Tagu. Three years
of her sentence were
suspended for five years on
condition of good
behaviour.
Mr Goodluck Katenaire, for
the State said on the night of
18 to 19 January this year,
the woman and the man
slept under one roof, but in
different rooms. During the
night, the woman went to
the room where the man
was sleeping and asked him
to join her in her bedroom,
but he refused since he
knew that she was married
to his employer.
She kept on bothering him,
but he refused and the State
proved that she lifted him up
and took him to her
bedroom where she laid him
on a reed mat and
undressed him. He tried to
get up, but she pinned him
down and went on to be
intimate with him at about
5am on 19 January. The man
decided to terminate his
employment and went back
to his parents’ homestead
where he narrated his ordeal
to his father and a police
report was later made
leading to her arrest.
In passing sentence, Mr Tagu
said while it is the practice of
the courts to try and keep
women first offenders out
of custody, the offence for
which she stood convicted
of was a serious one.
“Cases of women sexually
assaulting men are now
prevalent and that is why
the legislature saw it fit to
pass laws that are meant to
deter offenders. You are a
married woman and the
complainant was your
employee and by abusing
him you betrayed the trust
that had been bestowed in
you. A custodial sentence
would meet the justice of
this case,” said the
magistrate. Visit revealzone..com/2012/11/54-year-old-woman-jailed-10-years-for.html?m=1
