Man (20) receives 15 years in prison for raping his sister (12)

A 20-year-old man from Mutare has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of raping his 12-year-old sister.

The accused, whose name was not disclosed, recently appeared before the Mutare Magistrate’s Court to face charges of rape.

The State has proven that sometime during the period from January 2023 to April 2024, the defendant raped his sister whenever she was in the care of her grandmother, his sister, or his own.

In the first incident, he took the minor into his bedroom and forcibly removed her skirt and underwear before raping her once. He threatened to attack her if she told anyone about it.

This happened while the grandmother and sister were in another bedroom in the house.

The defendant then raped his sister several times when the mother was not at home.

On April 12, 2024, the girl did not go to school and told her mother that she was sick and her private parts were itchy.

Her mother noticed that her genitals were swollen and had a watery discharge.

The crime only came to light on April 14, 2024, when the defendant went to the police station to obtain a police report and have the plaintiff medically examined. He presented a photograph of the plaintiff’s private parts stored on his mobile phone.

Police investigations revealed that the photograph was part of a chain of messages exchanged between the defendant and the plaintiff, which revealed that he had raped her on several occasions.
