A 35-year-old Seke man has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for molesting boys.
The accused who is a boy scout trainer in Chief Seke area was brought before a Chitungwiza Regional Magistrate facing 7 counts of aggravated indecent assault and 6 counts of contravening the Data Protection Act.
He indecently assaulted boys aged between 10 and 19.
In a statement, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said the accused person used to train the boys in karate and would take advantage of their camp days.
“He would instruct them to thoroughly wash themselves, after which he would show them pornographic material on his laptop before indecently assaulting them,” NPA said.
“The matter came to light when one of the complainants narrated his ordeal to his parents and they alerted other parents via their WhatsApp group, upon inquiries, the other complainants also disclosed their ordeals.”
