They were found guilty of aggravated indecent assault, cyberbullying, unlawful detention, and assault, all of which occurred on July 4th in Wedza.
Vimbai Mike, 19, and a 17-year-old who is married with two children, were each sentenced to five years in prison for indecent assault. Additionally, they received one-year sentences for cyberbullying, unlawful detention, and assault. However, these sentences will run concurrently within the five-year term.
The three other juveniles involved were not sentenced but were warned that if they commit a similar crime within the next five years, they will face consequences.
The five women were accused of stripping and assaulting a fellow villager until she lost consciousness. They recorded the incident and shared the video online, which went viral and led to their arrest.
