A Marondera man who has literally been feasting on both his sugar mama and her young daughter has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The 21-year-old Ndera man, as Marondera is referred to in street lingo, seemed not to be able to attain fulfillment in bedding his sugar mama only, he went too far when he decided to rape his older wife’s daughter.
The 21-year-old accused, whose identity has been withheld to protect the victim, was entrusted with the care of his stepdaughter together with his wife’s two more younger children in 2023 while their mother was away.
Tragically, he abused this trust in the most horrific way, subjecting the young girl to repeated sexual abuse on four separate occasions.
The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) detailed the chilling events in a statement released on X (formerly Twitter).
“The accused took the children to a garden, where he committed the alleged rapes. When the complainant’s siblings fell asleep, the accused dragged her to a nearby banana plantation and raped her. The complainant’s screams were met with physical assault by the accused,” the statement read.
The young girl who was fearing retaliation from her abuser initially remained silent about the abuse. However, the weight of her trauma eventually led her to confide in her aunt in December 2023. This disclosure triggered a police report and the subsequent arrest of the accused.
The NPAZ statement further revealed the chilling details of the other three rapes.
“He also allegedly raped her on three other occasions when the complainant and her siblings were left in his custody. He raped the complainant in her bedroom while she was sleeping, in the bush where they had gone to fetch firewood, and also when she was bathing,” the statement continued.
After careful consideration of the evidence presented and the gravity of the matter, the court found the accused guilty of rape and slapped him with a 20-year prison sentence.
