A WOMAN from Famona, Bulawayo has appeared in court for allegedly teaching her employer’s son (4) to caress buttocks, breasts and private parts.

Princess Mpofu (21) was not asked to plead to a charge of performing indecent acts with a young person when she appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Mr Lizwe Jamela.

She was remanded to January 21 on $100 bail.

Prosecuting, Mr Denmark Chihombe said sometime in October last year the minor caressed his grandmother’s friend and went on to touch her privates.

“When the complainant was scolded for his behaviour, he said the accused person had taught him to act in such a manner,” he said.

“Sometime in November in the same year, the boy’s mother was lying on the floor facing upwards when the complainant got on top of her and started performing sexual moves. When the complainant was asked what he was doing he said the accused person had taught him.”

The boy allegedly left his mother and went to the kitchen where he found the accused person and he started touching her buttocks but she made no effort to reprimand him.

Mr Chihombe said the boy allegedly also tried to touch the private parts of another woman (name withheld) by inserting his hands into her skirt.

The woman asked the boy what he was doing, he told her that the accused person had taught him to touch her buttocks, breasts and kiss private parts.

The matter was reported to the police leading to the arrest of the accused person.-@zinyuke98
