Zimbabwe: Girl (16) Raped

25 November 2009

Harare — A 16-year-old girl was last Friday raped by a man who had offered her shelter while it was raining in Glen View 7, Harare.

The victim was looking for a woman in the area whom she failed to locate.

Harare province police spokesman Inspector James Sabau said the man, Wellington Mbudzi, allegedly offered the girl shelter at his house because it was raining and she was stranded. However, he subsequently dragged her into his bedroom and allegedly raped her once.

She later made a report to the police.

Insp Sabau said investigations were still in progress.
