3 women in Zimbabwe charged in series of sex attacks on men
Source: CNN

Harare, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Police in Zimbabwe on Friday charged three women found in possession of 33 condoms containing semen with 17 counts of aggravated indecent assault in a case that may be a break in a string of sex attacks over the past two years by women targeting male hitchhikers.

Prosecutor Michael Reza told a court in Harare that the counts were for each of the 17 men who had positively identified the women as having sexually assaulted them in 2010 or 2011.

The women, all of them in their mid-20s, were arrested Sunday in Gweru, about 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Harare, when their car was involved in an accident. Police found the condoms in the women's car. Police appealed to any other victims to inform police.

The three were taken Wednesday by police to Harare.

"Since Monday, 17 men came and positively identified the women as having raped them," said a police official in Harare who refused to be identified. "Most of the men said the women would offer a drink either laced with something to tranquilize them or were forced at gunpoint."

3. Your emoticon implies you don't understand something.
Do you mean if the women had been ugly you would understand? Did you click through to read the story to see what it might be about?

5. Here are two open ones—
How could you read the story & be compelled to comment only on the women's looks?

What made you such a shallow, uncomprehending person?

7. more info


“People should be given a chance to see these people. We want to know what they were doing with the semen,” local resident Nkululeko Ndlovu told New Zimbabwe outside the Gweru Central Police Station.

As for their side of the story, the three women say that they are “just hookers” who were too busy to dispose of the 31 condoms. That wouldn’t explain why they rushed to the scene of the fatal accident to retrieve the used prophylactics, though.

Police suspect the attacks may be the work of what New Zimbabwe calls a “twisted sperm-harvesting syndicate.” According to one sociology professor at the University of Zimbabwe, ”people believe that sperms can make someone’s luck improve.” The Daily News reports that semen is ”selling like hot cakes” in next-door South Africa, with a condom-load of the sticky stuff going for a sweet $400.

10. Good golly, Miss Molly!!!
Why are they raping men for their semen? They'd have men standing in line to sell their semen if they offered $25.00 or so. Then they could resell it for $400. Haven't they heard of capitalism? Very, very weird stuff - black market for stolen semen??
