A 29-year-old cheeky villager, who fondled a married woman's
breasts in the presence of her husband, has been ordered to perform 210
hours of community service for indecent assault.
Stanley Siazanga of Kalonga village in Siabuwa was convicted of the
charge despite his denials when he appeared before Binga resident
magistrate Stephen Ndlovu last week.
However, Siazanga claimed
he fondled the woman's breasts as punishment after finding the couple
having sex by the roadside. But the couple dismissed the claim as a lie,
adding they had a valid marriage which was solemnised in 2009.
Prosecutor Bruce Maphosa told the court that on 5 October at 9pm, the
complainant Dinah Rice (23) of Binga Training Centre and her husband
Thabani Moyo were taking a walk along a bush path from Govera area last
night when they met Siazanga.
Siazanga switched on his torch and
flashed it on Rice's face, quizzing her where she was going at night.
Moyo interjected and asked Siazanga why he was harassing his wife.
Siazanga then reached out for Rice's breasts and menacingly fondled her
while pushing Moyo away.
Moyo sought the intervention of his
brother who was close by, prompting Siazanga to flee from the scene. The
couple later reported the incident to police, leading to Siazanga's
arrest that same night.
