15 October 2016

A 14-Year-Old Dete school girl who was facing two counts of unlawful entry and theft claimed she stole from one of her victims to punish him after he slept with her and refused to pay. The Form Two pupil (name withheld) told provincial magistrate Mrs Rose Dube that she stole from the male complainant to recover $50 which he had promised to give her after the two had sex. "Your worship, I stole from the first complainant because I was hungry and needed food and clothes to wear.

"As for the second complainant I did it to recover the money he had promised me after he slept with me and said he would give me $50 since I'm an orphan," she said. Mrs Dube would have none of it.She cautioned the juvenile for her reckless behaviour and ordered her to concentrate on her school work.
