A 17-year-old boy on Thursday appeared in court after he allegedly engaged in sex with his 14-year-old girlfriend as her birthday present.
Enoch Murahwa appeared before Mbare magistrate Anita Tshuma charged with engaging in sex with a minor. Tshuma deferred the matter to today for sentence.
Allegations are that on Februray 20 this year, the girl visited Murahwa's house.
The court heard that when the girl entered the living room, the maid left the room leaving the two alone.
It is the State's case that Murahwa entered his mother's bedroom and called the girl telling her that he wanted to give her a present as it was her birthday.
It is alleged that while in the bedroom, Murahwa started caressing the girl and the two ended up having sex once.
The court was told that it was by consent.
However, on returning home the girl told her mother what had transpired and the two went to make a report to the police.
Meanwhile, another teenager appeared before Mbare magistrate Gladys Moyo facing similar charges after he allegedly had sex with his 13-year-old girlfriend on different occasions.
Billy Makumbe, 19, pleaded guilty to the charge.
Allegations are that sometime between December 2014 and February this year, Makumbe and the girl were in a relationship.
The court heard that in December the two had sex once.
It is alleged that in February the two again had consensual sex three times.
The matter only came to light when the girl's mother noticed behavioural changes in her daughter.
Upon quizzing her, the girl then revealed to her mother that she had been having sex with her boyfriend.
A report was made to the police.
