Man in court for grabbing woman’s buttocks

An Epworth man was dragged to court yesterday, after sexually harassing a young lady by grabbing her buttocks at Solani Shopping Centre.

Amstrome Zimunya, who resides in Epworth is facing trial at Harare Magistrates’ Court for allegedly harassing Getrude Maposa by touching her buttocks.

The court heard that on an unknown day in December last year Zimunya grabbed Maposa’s buttocks at a public place.

The accused is arraigned for breach of peace and assault.

The complaint told the court that Zimunya is very violent and has been sexually harassing her for some time.

“He is so violent that women who were at the scene refused to witness before the courts for fear of victimisation.

“Zimunya is known for his vicious actions and when I first reported my case to the police they refused arrest him knowing that he is violent,” she said.

She further told the court that she once took him to court some time last year after he sneaked into her house while she was naked. However Zimunya is said to have he denied the allegations.

The accused denied the allegations to the matter in question saying that the complainant dislikes him and has since fabricated a story of him rapping his own 5 year old daughter.
