HARARE – A 35-year-old divorced man from Mutoko turned his biological daughters – aged 7 and 5 – into his sex toys when he raped the infants on different occasions at the family home.
He was jailed 30 years by a Mutoko magistrate who found him guilty of two counts of rape which he committed sometime between December 2023 and March 2024.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ), “the accused person would have sexual intercourse with both complainants during the night or early in the morning before they left for school.”
“The accused person had been divorced with the complainants’ mother and had threatened the complainants not to disclose the matter to anyone,” NPAZ said in a statement.
The matter came to light 18 March this year after the local councillor received an anonymous tip-off, prompting him to question the infants who then revealed their nightmare leading to their father’s arrest.
The sex offender was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment on each count.
He will serve 30 years effectively.
