A 39-year-old man from Bulawayo has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of r_ping a woman who suffers from both intellectual and physical disabilities.
The case, which unfolded at the Western Commonage Magistrate Court, involved serious charges of s3xual vi0lence and th3ft.
According to court proceedings, both the accused and the complainant were acquaintances who would often meet at a local beer garden.
On May 29, the man lured the victim under the guise of wanting to enjoy a drinking session together.
Trusting his invitation, the woman accompanied him to a secluded area in a nearby bush.
Once there, the man violently pushed her to the ground and committed the horrific act of r_pe, demonstrating a complete disregard for her well-being and consent.
In a further violation, he took her mobile phone before fleeing the scene, prompting the victim to report the crime to the police, which ultimately led to his arrest and conviction.
