A 50-YEAR-OLD Chipinge man was dragged to court yesterday for dumping his 15 year old next door after suspecting that she had sex with a 17 year old neighbour.
Nicolous Bhebhe was slapped with a US$200 fine by Chipinge magistrate Nixon Mangoti for ill-treatment or neglecting of children under the Children and Adoption Act.
Failure to pay the two hundred dollars fine will result in Bhebhe serving two months in jail.
The court heard that on July 5, Bhebhe accused her daughter of having sexual intercourse with her 17 year old neighbour and took her at his parents’ house where he dumped her.
The boy’s parents escorted the girl to the police station to file the case, leading to the arrest of Bhebhe.
