A forty-five-year-old man from Kadoma is expected to appear in court today for allegedly raping his seven-year-old biological daughter.

The man (name withheld) stands accused of infecting the child with HIV.

The matter came to light when the mother examined the child after noticing unusual behaviour.

She reported the matter to the police before being referred to Kadoma General Hospital for medical examination where it was certified that the child had been sexually abused.

The father was arrested last week after the victim disclosed to the nurses about the disgusting acts.

He was, however, last week Wednesday released on bail to today.

During bail ruling, the man through his lawyer denied the allegations saying his wife had fabricated the story as they were having marital problems.

The woman and the child have been staying at a safe house since his release.
