A 12-year-old boy from Lupane area of Zimbabwe was convicted of raping his three-year-old neighbor at a school cottage.
During his arraignment in court, the boy admitted to raping the 3-year-old and told the magistrate that he had been experimenting after he had watched a porn video on his friend’s phone.
The Sunday News reports that Lupane Regional Magistrate Mr Collet Ncube convicted the minor of the rape charge because of the youth’s guilty plea.
