Gladys Chukura (20) allegedly raped her employee’s son (14) after threatening to report him to the police for raping her and threatening to burn his mother and mutilate his six-month-old sister if he refused.
Chukura appeared before Harare magistrate Ms Rumbidzai Mugwagwa facing charges of aggravated indecent assault and was remanded in custody to January 30 and advised to make a bail application at the High Court. Prosecuting, Mr Sebastian Mutizirwa alleged that on December 21 at around 9pm, Chukura went into the complainant’s bedroom and told him that she wanted to teach him how sleep with a woman. It is alleged that Chukura advanced at the teenager and started kissing him before the complainant told Chukura that he was not interested in sleeping with her and ordered her to stop.
The boy complied after Chukura verbally threatened that she would burn his mother, mutilate his six-month-old sister and report him to the police that he had raped her. It is alleged that the complainant got frightened and opted to give in to her demands. The complainant did not reveal the matter to anyone which came to light on January 11 when the complainant’s mother was informed by one of her neighbours that Chukura and the complainant act weird when they are together.
