A Zimbabwean former television drama actor was on February 8, arrested on charges of raping and sodomising his three minor children. <\/p>\n
The 34-year-old man is being held at a police station in Harare Province. Police<\/p>\n
spokesperson Inspector Tedius Chibanda confirmed the arrest saying the former actor would appear in court soon on rape and sodomy charges. <\/p>\n
I can confirm that he is detained at a Police Station in connection with several counts of rape and sodomy.<\/p>\n
There is suspicion that the man sexually abused his two girls aged 10 and 5 and a boy aged 4 after seperating with their mother. <\/p>\n
He will appear in court soon, said Insp Chibanda. Allegations are that the former actor had a misunderstanding with his wife sometime in October last year.<\/p>\n
The wife left their matrimonial home leaving her three children in his custody. <\/p>\n
It is alleged the man\u2019s neigbours noticed some changes in the children\u2019s behaviour and suspected that they were being sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n
This went on for some time until one of the neigbours gathered courage and infomed a member of the neighbourhood watch committee who then made a police report.<\/p>\n
During an interview by the police, the children opened up and admitted to have been assaulted by their father since last year.<\/p>\n
