A MUTASA man allegedly drugged his 14-year-old daughter with marijuana and an illicit brew before raping her.

The accused (name withheld to protect the identity of the juvenile) resides in Manica Bridge.

He appeared before Mutare magistrate, Mrs Prisca Manhibi, last week on Monday and was asked to apply for bail at the High Court.

He was remanded in custody.

Mr Chris Munyuki prosecuted.

“In February on an unknown date, the accused asked the complainant to bring his mobile phone into his bedroom. When she brought it, he pushed the complainant onto the bed and raped her once.

“The complainant bit his hand and managed to escape from the room. She informed her grandmother about the incident and was advised to inform another close relative. However, no action was taken,” said Mr Munyuki.

“On June 20, the accused person arrived home at around 4pm. He found the complainant seated in the kitchen with her friends. He rolled a twist of marijuana and smoked it in the kitchen. He went on to force the complainant and her friends to smoke the marijuana and drink an illicit alcoholic brew.

“The complainant’s tipsy friends then went to their respective homes while she remained with the accused person in the room. Due to her intoxication, the complainant fell asleep in the kitchen.

“The accused person went on to rape her. The complainant woke up later that night to discover that her dress had been soiled with semen,” said Mr Munyuki.

The matter came to light the following day when the complainant told her friends that she had been raped.

Her aunt accompanied her to make a police report, thereby leading to her father’s arrest.
