THERE is no love like a mother’s love.
True to this saying, a Nyanga woman recently sprang to her 15-year-old son’s defence and sold out a prostitute who had abused the minor after a consensual $4 quickie.
Tatenda Munembe (20) from Nyamhuka was this week dragged before Nyanga provincial magistrate, Mr Ignatio Mhene facing charges of contravening Section 70 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act which criminalises being intimate with a minor.
Public prosecutor, Mr Kelvin Mufute told the court that on December 31, the suspect was intimate with the teenager.
“The complainant is a juvenile doing Form 3 at Nyangani High School. On December 31 at around 9pm, the complainant was at Nyamhuka Business Centre in the company of his friends when he was approached by the accused who was soliciting for men.
“The accused asked the teenager if he was interested in being intimate with her and the complainant replied that he was interested. He revealed that he had $4 for the session,” he said.
The hooker then took the boy to her homestead and slept with him.
After the act, the complainant paid $4 for services rendered and they later returned to the business centre.
On January 5, the boy’s mother heard from the grapevine that her son had been intimate with a hooker and she confronted him.
Munembe is denying the charges.
