Edgar Madhobhi (18) from Nyika Village under Chief Neshuro in Mwenezi has appeared in court for allegedly raping a 13-year-old pupil while on her way to school in September.
Madhobhi appeared before resident magistrate Honesty Musiiwa last week and was remanded in custody as he was deemed a flight risk.
It is the state case that, on the 21 September 2016 at Village Nyika Chief Neshuro, Madhobhi met the juvenile on her way to school then dragged the complainant by her hand and dragged her to a nearby bush; he then tripped her down and removed her pants, and had sex with her without her consent.
After the incident Madhobhi threatened the complainant with assault if she reported the matter to anyone.
However the complainant narrated the rape ordeal to a teacher at the school Vengai Mashawi who then reported the matter to the Police leading to Madhobhi's arrest.
Willard Chasi prosecuted.
