Couple jailed after asking 13 year-old boy to film them having sex

A 25-year-old man and his 17-year-old girlfriend were each sentenced to 10 days in prison after being found guilty of public indecency.

The pair asked a 13 year-old boy to film their rendezvous in a sugarcane field.

Maxwell Magwenzi and his girlfriend from Chiredzi, Zimbabwe pleaded not guilty when they appeared before Chiredzi resident magistrate Mr Honest Musiyiwa last week.

They were given an option to pay a US$40 fine.

For the State, Mr Liberty Hove said on 12 February at around 2pm in Section 2, Triangle, the juvenile and Magwenzi had sex in the sugarcane field while a 13-year-old boy was watching and taking a video using a cellphone.

The court heard that the boy was asked by Magwenzi to record their orgy after which he would be paid an unspecified amount of money.

When Mangezi failed to honour the agreement to pay, the boy circulated the p*rnographic video around the school and attracted the school head's attention.

The unnamed school head reported the case to the police leading to Mangwezi and the girl's arrest.
