Chinese National Arrested for Molesting 17-Year-Old Mine General Worker

A Chinese national has been arrested for allegedly molesting his 17-year-old general worker at his mine.

Heinous Allegations

The 51-year-old Chinese national appeared before the Gweru Magistrate Courts on allegations of rape. The court heard that on the 15th of November 2022, the Chinese national called his employee, who was working as a general hand, to his office. Upon arriving, he asked her to have sexual intercourse, which she rejected. He then threatened her and went on to molest her on the floor.

Shocking Twist

The Chinese national then fired her after committing the offence. The girl, however, did not immediately report the incident to the police. She got home and narrated the story to her mother, but a police report was not made there and then.

The situation took an even darker turn when the girl gave birth allegedly to a Chinese child the following year. It wasn’t until this year, on the 13th of June, that a police report was finally made, leading to the arrest of the Chinese national.
