A Mazowe woman received a 15-year prison sentence for attacking an 11-year-old girl sexually. The 33-year-old defendant told the child she needed to check her virginity on behalf of the mother. Bindura Regional Magistrates Court delivered the judgment Friday after hearing shocking testimony. The woman knew the family well and often visited their home. Community members expressed outrage over the betrayal of trust.

The attack happened April 26 when the woman lured the child away from others. She touched herself first and the girl second during the fake medical examination. The victim's mother walked into the room and caught the assault happening. Police arrested the woman after the mother reported the crime immediately. Court records show the defendant claimed she was performing a legitimate test.

Prosecutors emphasized that female attackers can harm children just as much as male predators. Parents across Zimbabwe worry about protecting kids from trusted adults who abuse their position. The girl receives counseling services to help recover from the trauma. Social workers say healing takes time after such violations. Community leaders urge families to discuss safety and report suspicious behavior quickly.
