A Glen View man who reportedly was so addicted to having
quality time with prostitutes found his 8-year-old daughter raped whilst
he allegedly was bonking Harare prostitutes.
The
incident took place last year after the man, (name withheld to protect
the identity of the minor), left his little daughter at home and went on
to hook up with ladies of the night. While he was away, a man only
identified as Mambo reportedly took advantage of the absence of the
minor's father and raped her.
The incident came to light after the
alleged irresponsible father had dragged his ex-wife to Harare Civil
Court seeking to be granted custody of their 8-year-old girl. His
ex-wife, however, begged for the court not to honour his request.
"Your
worship, I cannot let him stay with my daughter because he loves
prostitutes more than his own child. Last year I left him with the child
and she got raped after he had gone to hook up with prostitutes. He now
wants to stay with the child because the court ordered him to pay
maintenance. Granting his wish would be putting the life of my daughter
at risk, Your Worship," said the girl's mother (name withheld).
Interestingly,
the man admit that his daughter indeed got raped on the day in
question, but however claimed that he had not gone to hunt for sex
workers. He further claimed that the man who raped his daughter was in
fact his ex-wife's boyfriend.
"I had not gone for prostitutes. I
had just taken a walk intending to return home early. That is when her
boyfriend came and raped my daughter while I was away. She must give me
back my child because she is indulging in prostitution before the eyes
of my child. She is influencing the young girl to have bad morals," he
said.
Magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti who presided over the case,
ordered that the child should remain in her mother's custody as she is
still too young
