The Prosecutor General (PG)'s Office on Friday pleaded with regional magistrate Hosea Mujaya to consider imposing life imprisonment or at least a 100-year jail term on RMG Independent End Time Message Church leader Robert Martin Gumbura.
Gumbura was on Friday convicted on 4 counts of rape and one count of possessing p*rnographic material.
He was acquitted on 5 other counts of rape allegedly perpetrated on adult female church members.
The polygamous church leader, who bragged during trial that his target was to sire 100 children with different wives, will be sentenced today.
In a three-hour-long judgment, magistrate Mujaya castigated Gumbura's behaviour towards his congregants saying he behaved like a bull at his Mayenga Farm in Chinhoyi.
