‘I lied about rape’

A BINGA pupil who had dragged a primary school teacher to court for rape has confessed that she was seeking revenge after he made her pregnant and denied responsibility.

The Mpinami Primary School teacher at Manjolo Business Centre had been on trial for rape since February after the 18-year-old girl reported that he had raped him in a bush.

Allegations were that on January 29 at around 6pm, the Form 4 pupil went to a nearby borehole to fetch water in the company of her sister’s daughter.
