Teacher shows school girl indecent clips on his phone, grabs her thighs!

A teacher who caressed a school girl’s thighs after showing her pictures of people having sex on his cell phone was on Wednesday ordered to perform 420 hours of community service.

Alfonse Maputsenyika, 42, appeared before provincial magistrate, Pathekile Msipa, in March facing charges of indecent assault and for contravening a section under the Censorship and Entertainment Control Act.

Maputsenyika, a teacher at Gunde Primary School in Chiwundura, entered the girl’s sister’s bedroom and allegedly fondled her thighs after showing her obscene pictures.

Maputsenyika and the girl’s sister teach at the same school and are also friends, the court heard. The girl is a form three student at a nearby secondary school.

The teacher, who was represented by Reginald Chidawanyika, had denied the charges.

He argued that he was requested by the girl’s sister to monitor her movements when she (elder sister) had gone to Gweru for a weekend break.

Maputsenyika claimed that when he reported the girl to her sister after discovering that she was sleeping with some boys in her absence the girl made then made false allegations.

But Msipa convicted Maputsenyika of indecent assault and sentenced him to 24 months before suspending 12 months.

A further 12 months were suspended on condition Maputsenyika completes 420 hours of community service at a local clinic starting on the 17th July.

For showing the juvenile pornography, he was fined $50 or five days in jail.

The state’s case was that on the 10th of October 2014, the girl was left alone after her sister had gone to Gweru for a weekend

Maputsenyika then entered the girl’s sister bedroom and proposed love to her.

On entering the room, Maputsenyika found the girl sitting on the bed. He sat close to her and showed her pictures on his cell phone of people having sex before fondling her thighs.

Prosecutors said the girl jumped off the bed after which Maputsenyika left the room.

The girl later told the deputy headmistress that her sister was sending her away to their parents because of false allegations leveled against her by Maputsenyika.

That is when she also revealed that Maputsenyia had indecently assaulted her leading to his arrest.
