A source within the community stated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The girl was not raped. She was given $5 after they had agreed. They are both in Form Four.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police were swiftly dispatched to the school following the emergence of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The police have already been here. The Provincial education office was here today,&#8221; a source revealed, indicating the seriousness with which authorities are treating the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is expected to conduct its own visit to the school imminently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details from the investigation suggest the encounter may have been premeditated. A source explained,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The girl previously had someone arrested for making similar claims, who is now in prison. It is alleged that she told a young man, who was seen with her in the video wearing a white hat, that he was incapable alone and should bring a friend so they could &#8216;manage&#8217; her together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The source added,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The boy then came with a friend, which is why the video shows the incident taking place in a secluded area without signs of a struggle. The claim of rape does not hold; it appears this was a arranged situation that highlights a deeper moral problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, conflicting reports from another source describe the video&#8217;s content as deeply concerning, alleging that the young woman was coerced and that the acts were not consensual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of publication, police officials had not yet released an official statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case has caused significant anxiety within the school community, with many awaiting the findings of the official investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile the police have arrested the two juveniles who were involved is the sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay connected with us:<br>\u00b7X (Twitter): @ZimGbc<br>\u00b7Instagram: @ZimGBCNews<br>\u00b7TikTok: @ZimGBCNews_01<br>\u00b7Facebook: Zim GBC News<br>\u00b7YouTube: Zim GBC News<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get real-time alerts on WhatsApp:<br>+263 773 820 323<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News |<\/strong> Global News From An African Perspective\u00a9\ufe0f2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zim GBC News | Crimes and Courts MASINGO \u2013 Zim GBC News has come up with disturbing allegations of a sexual encounter involving students at Masasi High School, which has&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-court-and-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9772"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9774,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9772\/revisions\/9774"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
