A MOTHER was left horrified after her five-year-old daughter allegedly revealed that she had been sexually abused by her 14-year-old uncle in Njube, Bulawayo.
The disturbing discovery came during what started as an ordinary bathing session when the 29-year-old mother noticed that the little girl was experiencing pain between her legs.
When questioned, the child reportedly blamed her underwear, saying it had caused bruising between her legs.
However, the mother’s suspicions grew the following morning when the discomfort persisted.
According to a police statement provided by Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Nomalanga Msebele, the incident came to light on November 2 when the mother noticed the child’s condition while bathing her.
She reportedly questioned the girl further on November 3, leading to the child disclosing that she had allegedly been sexually abused by her 14-year-old uncle.
The mother subsequently reported the matter to the police.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged abuse are now subject to police investigations.
