A woman arrested in Harare last week on charges of aggravated indecent assault of a 13-year-old boy from Houghton Park in Harare, after linking up with him on an internet dating site, now faces charges of rape.
Precious Teya (26) was initially charged with aggravated indecent assault for allegedly being intimate with a minor before the charge was raised to rape. Under the codification of criminal law rape is a gender neutral crime.
Yesterday her lawyers appeared before High Court judge Justice Davison Foroma seeking bail pending trial of their client but the hearing was postponed to today.
Teya was not formally charged with aggravated indecent assault when she appeared before Harare provincial magistrate Mrs Vongai Guwuriro a week ago and was remanded in custody to April 21 with only the High Court able to entertain a bail application,
Charges against Teya arose on February 22, when the boy went on a dating site and selected Teya.
The two started chatting on WhatsApp, where Teya listed the services she offers. She charged the boy US$20 for sex.
The 13-year-old boy then invited Teya to his parents’ house on the following day, according to the State.
The court heard that the boy asked Teya to bring sleeping tablets that he intended to give to his siblings so that they would be asleep when the two were together.
Upon arrival, Teya allegedly asked the boy to pay US$20 for the taxi and later gave him the sleeping tablets.
It is said that the boy changed his mind and asked Teya to return to Chitungwiza, but she allegedly refused and forced herself on the boy. Teya allegedly sexually assaulted the boy once before demanding US$120 for the services. The Herald

Edie Mpapa I become sick because she’s an adult,and adults are expected to be rational and mature in thinking. I can’t imagine how someone akura can have sex with a minor and yet there are mature men out there.
Kudzai Matavata-Phiri That child is also the problem ,because even that lady is incarcerated,it doesnt change his behaviour,ngavaraire mwana chete
Bryan BT Mudzvova unotozvishayawo

Nomatter wat punishment that lady is getting it doesnt change the fact that the boy is a troubled child nothing good gonna come out of him if i was his mom i wld find a way to help and punish him he must learn the hard way
Mai Tinevimbo Shongedza. ..he is not a troubled child just a horny teenager going through puberty
Abel Mashoyoya thru puberty thy do that wth their agemate ot xulmate not thigh vendors it wl be difficult to settle for any yough lady wth no experience like prostitutes do yu think he wil just forget and move on hyoo i thank god im nt his mom i dnt knw hw i was handle him
Mai Tinevimbo Shongedza there is nothing to handle. The mother is actually lucky they caught this at a young age.
Abel Mashoyoya i think yu dont understand the impact a prostitute hve in anyone’s sexual life
Myself as a wife i knw whn my husband is associating wth prostitute nt just random small house i wl just hve to move out coz i cant undo wats planted in his head
Mai Tinevimbo Shongedza lol. Are u for real.
She must pay for her crime
Having sex with a minor where there is an agreement is not rape
Then you don’t know the law. If you are a man, go and lay with a minor and tell the court that you had both agreed and see what happens
Trivedy Mukuze kkkkkk i think you are the one who needs a law lecture. Having sex with a minor is a crime but not rape
Please release that woman. Haana mhosva. Hurumende ngaipe vanhu mabasa
So basically mfana anga akecha
Mom’s vakazonyanyao kuda tunomhanya ropa
She is out on bail
It is Not Rape.It is Aggravated assault.Same gravity.
Sanderz Makombe Snr Counsel isn’t it rape as in statutory rape?
Ethan Malibongwe Moyo Bruv, the crime of rape in Zimbabwe has different elements of which ‘penetration’ is one.Woman are not capable of penetration,hence only males are charged with Rape in Zimbabwe
Sanderz Makombe ogh really, interesting. Thanks
Didn’t this boy call this woman. How is this rape. School me please….
So sad,,,that poor lady needs some counseling at all costs.
it’s not aggravated assault its statutory rape. The law cannot change because it’s a boy. We need to protect our sons
Mufana uyu aida zvinhu zvevakuru
Mfana anga anakirwa negaro
Haa mwana ane 13 years aitsvagei pa internet yakadai
