Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A ZIMBABWE National Army major appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court yesterday facing allegations of raping his biological daughter.<\/p>\n

The matter was heard before Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje.<\/p>\n

The accused person was remanded in custody to September 23 and advised to approach the High Court for bail application.<\/p>\n

State prosecutor Mercy Masamvi opposed bail saying the accused person is a powerful army officer who abused his power to sexually harass a minor.<\/p>\n

She further opposed bail indicating that the accused is facing a serious offence.<\/p>\n

It is the State\u2019s case that on Sunday, the accused person, who was sharing a bed with his daughter, suddenly pinned and raped her.<\/p>\n

The court heard that the complainant escaped and narrated her ordeal to her sister, who was in the next room.<\/p>\n

The matter was reported at ZRP Epworth leading to his arrest.<\/p>\n
