The rape incident only came to light when she went for treatment at the hospital.
Lucas Masiyanise (22) of Mbizo, Kwekwe was not asked to plead to rape when he appeared before Gokwe resident magistrate Shepherd Mjanja and was remanded in custody to December 31.
Prosecutor Mandla Ndlovu told the court that sometime in August 2011, the alleged rape victim was left in his custody by her parents at Zigandiwa village.
Masiyanise allegedly took advantage of that and called the girl to his bedroom where he raped her.
