A COWDRAY Park teen sexually assaulted her brother (14) several times at knife point.

A court heard the girl (17) who cannot be named, at one point told her brother that she was pregnant and that she would make a rape report if the boy refused to continue having sex with her.

The frightened boy ended up confiding in his teacher.

The teacher was also getting worried as the boy’s grades dipped drastically around the same time.

Regional magistrate Mr Chrispen Mberewere condemned the girl’s behaviour. He sentenced her to five years in prison, which he suspended on condition she does not commit a similar crime in the next five years.

The girl pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated indecent assault claiming that she heard voices that ordered her to have intercourse with her brother.

Prosecuting, Mr Simbarashe Manyiwa said that sometime in June at around 9PM while the boy, who is doing Form Two was sleeping, his sister went into his room carrying a knife.

“She placed the knife on his neck and ordered him to undress. The girl caressed her brother before forcing him to have intercourse,” said Mr Manyiwa.

“He didn’t report the matter to anyone but resolved that he would inform his teacher at school. After a week she told her brother that she was pregnant with his baby and she wanted to tell her mother that the boy had raped her.”

The court heard that the girl made her brother promise to have intercourse with her if he did not want her to make the rape report.

“She continued visiting her brother’s room and seducing him several times before forcing him into having intercourse. The girl’s shenanigans came to light after she forced her brother to have intercourse with her twice on July 17,” he said.

“The boy went to school and told his counselling teacher that there was something troubling him. He then revealed that his sister was in the habit of forcing him to have intercourse with her. The teacher made a report which led to the girl’s arrest.”
