A PLUMTREE magistrate yesterday warned and discharged a 19-year-old teenager who fondled his Form Three girlfriend that he had to wait until he was married in order to have sexual intercourse.
Armstrong Majazi of Osabeni, Mangwe district, kissed and fondled the pupil while they were on their way from church.
The girl told her mother who called in the police.
“As you can see, this girl is still young, that’s why after fondling her and kissing her she went on to tell her mother. If she was mature enough, she would’ve kept what you had done a secret,” Gideon Ruvetsa told Majazi.
“I suggest that you wait for her to mature first and then you can start fondling her. It’s obvious that after fondling you might do other things that mature lovers do and you’ll have to wait for that.”
Majazi had pleaded guilty to fondling a young person.
He told the court that he saw no problem with his actions as they were in love.
He also said the 15-year-old girl appeared pleased by his actions as she looked excited each time he held her.
Prosecuting, Clemence Shawarira said on January 25, Majazi and the girl bumped into her mother, Janet Hadebe, 48. The girl fled.
Shawarira said Hadebe later questioned her daughter on her relationship with Majazi and she confessed that he was her boyfriend. She also opened up on the kissing and fondling.
Police were called.
