Teacher charged with inducing pupil to abort

A teacher at an army camp school in Bulawayo was on Friday brought before the courts for allegedly inducing a 15-year-old pupil whom he had reportedly impregnated to commit abortion.

The teacher (25) was not asked to plead to charges of having been intimate with an underage girl and incitement to terminate pregnancy, when he briefly appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Tawanda Muchemwa.

He was remanded out of custody to October 26 on $100 bail.
