A 22-year-old Bulawayo allegedly sodomised a 15 year old boy.
Mbonisi Gumede of Pumula Old appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Mr Tafadzwa Witness Mtetwa.
He was not asked to plead to a charge of aggravated indecent assault.
He was remanded in custody to 30 August.
The court heard that sometime in March, the teenager was approached by Gumede at a beer garden in Makokoba.
Gumede allegedly asked the boy to accompany him to his home and the juvenile agreed.
Appearing for the state, Miss Tarisai Mutarisi told the court that on arrival, Gumede took a bath.
Thereafter he is said to have invited the juvenile to lie on the bed.
The court was further told that the teenager refused to comply and as a result, Gumede dragged him while covering his mouth with one hand so that he could not scream.
When Gumede finally let the teenager go, the juvenile went and reported the matter to the police.
