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 fondléd the woman’s bréasts as punishment after
finding the couple having séx 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 bréasts and
menacingly fondléd 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.
