Given Moyo (36) from Insuza was sentenced to 12 years in jail by Bulawayo regional magistrate Mr Joseph Mabeza for raping his neighbour’s wife.
In his defence Moyo said that they were in a relationship with the woman and had agreed to have sex in exchange of groceries. He claimed that the reason why she reported the matter was because she claimed he failed to satisfy her and kept complaining that she expected him to perform better because he doesn’t stay with a wife. Moyo’s victim said she never consented to having sex with him and had told him off when he proposed love reminding him that she was a married woman.
Moyo allegedly followed the victim when she dropped off the train and demanded sex, offering her groceries in return. Her husband had promised to meet her at the station but he wasn’t there. Moyo took advantage of the situation and asked her to go with him to his house but she refused. The woman said after she refused, Moyo slapped her thrice, tore her clothes and raped her.
