“14yr Old Girl Pestered Me For S_ex”: Says Man Nabbed Bonking Minor
A 21 year old man from Matetsi outside Victoria Falls who is being accused of having se_x with a minor told a court that he never slept with the juvenile although the 14-year-old girl continuously pestered him for se_x.
Artwell Mathe of Masikili village under Chief Shana pleaded not guilty to having se_xual intercourse with a young person and performing indecent acts with a young person.
He appeared before Victoria Falls resident Magistrate Ms Lindiwe Maphosa yesterday where he pleaded guilty to f0ndling the girl but denied having se_x with her.
He was remanded out of custody on his own cognisance to Tuesday next week.
Mathe told the court that the complainant at some point eloped to his home on two occasions and he took her back to her parents.
The girl is doing Form Two at a local school and both live in the same area.
The two allegedly had a se_xual relationship starting in August 2019 until the girl’s mother caught them caressing each other in a bush and reported the matter to the police, hence the charge of performing indecent acts with a young person.
