FULL body search!
A Redcliff woman was left naked after an altercation over a mobile phone got out of hand.
The married woman, Tulane Mateyo, was stripped by Johnson Taruvinga over his mobile phone that went missing while on the charger at a local shop.
Taruvinga allegedly forcibly removed Mateyoa��s clothes as he conducted a body search, allegedly fondling the womana��s breasts as he searched for the phone.
Mateyo was not amused and she reported the matter to the police leading to Taruvingaa��s arrest.
For the offence he was arraigned before Kwekwe magistrate Lavroe Philemon facing an indecent assault charge.
Mateyo claimed to have been scared by Taruvinga.
a�?He threatened me with death and ordered me to strip before he fondled me all over the body. I was left totally naked because I feared for my life,a�? she said.
The magistrate, however, found Taruvinga not guilty becauseA� Mateyo consented to the accuseda��s actions and there was no evidence of forced action. .
