Zimbabwean Woman Jailed 15 Years for Raping Husband’s 15-Year-Old Brother
A 20-year-old Zimbabwean woman has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after a court found her guilty of raping her husband’s 15-year-old half-brother in Soma Village, Bikita. The court heard that in February, the teenager went to his brother’s home seeking money for sports. The woman invited him to stay overnight, showed him pornographic videos and later assaulted him. She then threatened him the next morning, warning that her husband would harm him if he spoke out. After the boy told his mother what happened, the matter was reported to the police. In her defence, the woman denied the charges, claiming the boy had initiated contact and she was “sex-starved” during her husband’s absence. Magistrate Innocent Bepura rejected her account and handed down the sentence on 21 May 2026.
