he appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Mr Kudakwashe Jarabini.
The court heard that on January 5 in Seke, the girl asked the boy to accompany her to the nearby bushes where she wanted to gather wild fruits.
He agreed and went with her.
While they were walking in the bush, the boy grabbed the girl and tried to undress her resulting in a scuffle as the girl fought to break free.
The boy tried to pin the girl on the ground but was overpowered. The girl was rescued by her father who suddenly appeared at the scene prompting the boy to run away into the thicket.
The boy was arrested after the girl’s father reported the matter to the police. Mr Edmond Ndambakuwa prosecuted.
