A Shamva-based man was arraigned before the Bindura regional magistrates courts on Friday.
The 24-year-old man, who cannot be named for ethical reasons, was jailed for 20 years by magistrate Amos Mbobo after pleading guilty.
Prosecutor Clever Nyapfani told the court that on June 24, the convict was left in the custody of the complainant while her mother went to a funeral.
He got into her room and proposed love to her.
The complainant ignored his uncle, and he raped her.
The matter came to light this year, after a police report was filed, leading to the arrest of the uncle.
