A 41-YEAR-OLD Plumtree man who has been on the run after raping an 11-year-old girl several times with the assistance of a maid who was tasked to look after her and her siblings has been arrested.

"On 15 March Moyo proceeded to the juvenile's homestead where she stays with a housemaid as her guardian. Moyo entered into a room together with the juvenile and Ndlovu locked them inside.
"Moyo raped the juvenile several times under the same circumstances at the same place," he said.
Mr Chinyanganya said Moyo fled after committing the offence but was arrested on 21 August after an identification parade at the Plumtree Police Station.
Ndlovu was allegedly facilitating the rape of her boss's daughter in exchange for cash as her employer who works in South Africa was not paying her enough money.
