A 22-YEAR-OLD Bulilima woman has been arrested for allegedly forcing her husband’s 14-year-old nephew to have sexual intercourse with her.

The woman who cannot be named to protect the identity of the juvenile appeared before Plumtree magistrate, Mr Joshua Mawere, facing aggravated indecent assault charges.

She was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to June 15. Prosecuting, Mrs Rose Sibanda said the Madlambuzi woman met the juvenile, a Form Two pupil, sometime in January while he was looking for donkeys.

She undressed and ordered him to have sexual intercourse with her. Mrs Sibanda said the woman threatened her nephew and told him not to report the matter to anyone.

She said sometime in April rumours started spreading in the community that the juvenile had slept with his aunt. Mrs Sibanda said the juvenile revealed what had transpired to his mother after she confronted him. The matter was reported to the police resulting in the woman’s arrest.
