A 14-YEAR-OLD boy from Luveve in Bulawayo allegedly sodomised his three playmates aged eight, nine and 13 after a maid exposed him to adult movies.
A court yesterday heard how the minor at one point forced two of the boys to stand guard while he sodomised the other boy at his home.
The boy, who cannot be named for ethical reasons, appeared before senior regional magistrate Mr Tranos Utahwashe facing five counts of aggravated indecent assault. Mr Utahwashe convicted the boy and remanded him to July 7 for sentence.
The boy told the court he was sorry for sodomising his friends. He told social workers that he was exposed to blue movies which gave him ideas to abuse his friends over a period of one month.

"When his friend failed to produce them, the boy told him he had to pay by having an-al sex with him. He ordered the boy to undress and when he refused the boy threatened to assault him and went on to force him into inter-course," said Mr Mukura.
"On another unknown date but during September last year, the same victim knocked off from school and started walking home with the older boy.
The accused demanded his shoes again and when the boy failed to produce them, the boy dragged him to his home where he sodomised him once."
The court heard that the Grade Six pupil pounced on his second friend aged nine and doing Grade 3.
"On September 8 at around 6PM, the boy was playing with his other friends when the sodomite approached him. He instructed the boy, 9, to pull down his trousers and sodomised him," he said. Mr Mukura added that, "On an unknown date in September, the boy pounced on the same boy who was with two other complainants".
The court heard that the sodomite asked his victims to be on guard while he sodomised the nine-year-old.
"The boy met his last victim aged eight in the company of the two victims. He went to him, forced him to undress and sodomised him once. The matter finally came out and on October 9, the three boys were taken for medical examination."
