By Own Correspondent|A Kariba based security guard has been hauled before the courts for sodomising a 14 year old boy sixteen times.

The 32 year old guard appeared before magistrate Toendepi Zhou facing aggravated indecent assault charges and he was remanded out of custody until May 30 2018.

Prosecutor Phillip Urayi told the court that the guard, who cannot be named to protect the minor, started sodomising the 14 year old in November last year.

The accused, who is also a junior trainer at Kariba Junior Club lured the minor whom he was paying $30 monthly for his “services”, the court heard.

The act was only exposed on 13 May 2018 when the brother of the victim caught them red handed and upon further investigation, they revealed how it had all started.

The court heard that the brother of the minor had been monitoring the suspects’
movements which were suspicious before he caught them red handed in the act in the bedroom.

He told the court that he was alerted about the intimate relationship between his brother and the guard who is also his nephew and had confronted them but they had denied it.

It was after he caught them that he quizzed them about their affair and they disclosed how it had started.

He reported the case to the police leading to the guard’s arrest.
