A suspected sex pest from Gweru's Mkoba suburb exposed his male organ to his maid as a way of seducing her, a magistrate heard.
Michael Mabana, 26, of Mkoba Village 12 and employed by Unki Mines, appeared before Gweru magistrate Tendai Madanire facing a charge of public indecency. Mabana pleaded not guilty and was remanded out of custody to tomorrow for continuation of trial.
The prosecutor, Bernard Nyoni, told the court that on August 22 this year around 4PM, Mabana was at home with the complainant, aged 16, who was doing her household duties as a maid.
The court heard that Mabana was on a bed holding his baby when the maid came into the bedroom from outside where she had gone to collect clothes from the washing line.
It is alleged he asked the maid if she wanted her hair done at a nearby salon to which she refused.
Nyoni said Mabana later asked the maid if she was not happy with what he had said to her.
He said the maid looked in the direction of the accused and saw his private parts protruding from his trousers.
The maid took the baby from Mabana and went to the younger sister of their landlord and told her what had happened and was advised to wait for the man's wife to come home from work.
The court heard that the maid told Mabana's wife what had happened and also said she was no longer interested in working for them.
The maid informed her father who was in Gokwe and he came and reported the matter to the police leading to Mabana's arrest.
