Pastor Sexually Assaults “Handsome man”

Drama or a real life story are words that still haunt a Kwekwe Magistrates Court after a Zvishavane based pastor appeared before the courts for sexually assaulting his congregant three times under threat.

Court records state that the 18-year-old victim was seduced by the “holy man” that he was to handsome after he came to a prayer night at his family home.

NPA said the incident occurred on 11 August 2025, and he is facing charges of aggravated indecent assault.

“The victim allegedly woke up to find himself being caressed by the accused person who had paid a visit to the victim’s family.

“When the victim enquired about his actions the accused person allegedly said that the victim was “too handsome” and the fact of it had made him feel as if he was in bed with a woman.

“The accused person is alleged to have forcibly removed the victim’s shorts and threatened to shoot him with a gun if he screamed or told anyone.

“He then allegedly forced the victim to lie on his stomach and sexually assaulted him three times,” said NPA.

NPA said after the third assault, the accused person allegedly told the victim to perform a sexual act on him. “Out of fear the victim complied.

The accused person left the victim’s home at 0630 hours. The victim disclosed his ordeal to his aunt on the same day.

The matter was reported at Redcliff Police station leading to the arrest of the accused.”

NPA said,”The accused was remanded in custody and will be back in court on 27th of August 2025 for trial.”
