Verdict: there are other sexual offenses not covered here such as bestiality; sexual intercourse or performing indecent acts with young persons; sexual crimes committed against young or mentally incompetent persons outside zimbabwe; and sexual intercourse within a prohibited degree of relationship. to answer our reader's question on why the teenagers were charged with aggravated indecent assault even though their victim was also female, the answer lies in section 66   of the criminal law  act. this was when, according to the police, they 'went on to insert three sticks into her private parts'. the teenagers have not, at this time, been convicted of any crime. their case is still before the courts.
