Four people fined for engaging in public s€x
FOUR individuals who were caught engaging in s€xual activities in a public area at night in Southlea Park have been fined.
Mellisa Mapanga (23), Rutendo Joseph(27), Elsie Mupesa (22) all s..x workers and Takura Pedzisai (35), a client , pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct charges when they appeared before Mbare magistrate Tatenda Mukurunga.
The three women explained to the court that they were involved in s€x work as their means of livelihood. Magistrate Mukurunga imposed US$50 fines each on Mapanga, Joseph, and Mupesa, or a default sentence of 45 days in prison.
Pedzisai, however, was fined US$100, as the court considered aggravating factors, including the fact that he had a pregnant wife at home while engaging in infidelity.
