A woman who had asked for aAï¿½ placeAï¿½ toAï¿½ sleepAï¿½ atAï¿½ aAï¿½ policeAï¿½ station gotAï¿½ aAï¿½ rudeAï¿½ awakeningAï¿½ as aAï¿½ police officer sneaked into her blankets and allegedly demanded sex before asking her to touch his bedroom gun.

The alleged police officer Augustine Gumbo (27) met the complainant at the police station last Saturday at around 8pm.

He proposed love but his proposal fell on deaf ears as Otilia Ncube told him that she was married.
Gumbo seemed to have an urge to sample her and allegedly sneaked into her blankets and asked for sex.

But Ncube stood her ground and refused. Seeing that his efforts were amounting to nothing, Gumbo who had already removed his underwear grabbed Ncubeaï¿½ï¿½s hand and forced her to touch his aï¿½?angryaï¿½? tube.

She tried to escape but she was pressed down by Gumbo.

The court heard that he fondled her breasts and private parts in the process forcing her to touch his manhood.

He lifted the complainantaï¿½ï¿½s skirt and tried to plant his black mamba in between her legs.

She screamed, alerting two police officers Reuben and Majasi who were on night duty.

Worried about the cry emanating from the radio room, Reuben rushed to check and found the alleged rapist hiding under the table. After that the accused dashed out. Ncube reported the matter to the police leading to the arrest of the accused.

Gumbo appeared before Lupane resident magistrate Ndumo Masuku facing an attempted rape charge.

He pleaded not guilty and is out of custody on $100 bail to 11 May for continuation of trial.
