HARARE: Three women in Zimbabwe caught in possession of 33 used condoms full of semen have been charged with aggravated indecent assault after 17 men alleged they had been raped by them. The three women in their mid-20s were arraigned before a magistrates court.

They were not legally represented and are to appear in court again in two weeks when more charges are expected to be brought.

Sophie Nhokwara … accused.

State prosecutors claimed the women ''spiked'' drinks of would-be victims between 2010 and 2011.

Police said the women might have been part of a gang that they had been looking for in connection with reported cases of men claiming to have been sexually assaulted by women.
