A MAID from Gweru allegedly sexually abused her employer's 13-year-old son and infected him with a sexually transmitted disease.
Esnath Hove, 28, from Mkoba Village 7, yesterday appeared before Regional Magistrate Collette Ncube facing one count of aggravated indecent assault.
She pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody to November 22 for judgment.
Hove told the court that the minor had been ordered to lie by his mother for unknown reasons.
The boy gave evidence in camera.
Prosecuting, Andrew Marimo told the court that sometime in July this year, Hove was sleeping in the same room with the boy.
He said at around midnight, the woman woke up her employer's son.
"She removed his short and underwear while ordering him not to scream," said Marimo.
"Hove then inserted his manhood into her genitalia without his consent and after sometime of forced sexual activity, he dismounted her, went to sleep and didn't tell anyone about the matter."
The court heard that on July 18 this year at around 7PM, the boy's mother bought a boxer short for him and ordered him to try it in her presence.
"When her son removed his underwear, the mother noticed that his private parts were swollen and discharging pus. She also noticed that his manhood had rash around the foreskin," said Marimo.
The court heard that the boy's mother took him to hospital for treatment and it was discovered that he had an STI. He was questioned and nailed their maid.
Marimo said the boy was taken to ZRP Mkoba where a report was made leading to Hove's arrest.
