POLICE RAPISTS
"The
year 2011 was marred by stories of police officers sexually assaulting victims
they were supposed to protect, this and many other stories of rampant
corruption made me ashamed to be South African.
Here
are a few:
A
police constable has been arrested for allegedly raping an awaiting-trial
prisoner at the Glendale police station on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal,
police said on Sunday.
A
police officer heard strange sounds coming from the holding cells around 4pm on
Saturday and rushed in to investigate , Colonel Jay Naicker said. “He found the
32-year-old woman who told him she had just been raped by a constable at
gun-point.”
Two
police sergeants will appear in the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday for
allegedly raping a woman, the Independent Complaints Directorate said.
The
policemen, aged 28 and 43, were arrested last week after allegedly raping a
female motorist in Fourways, north of Johannesburg.
The
victim was allegedly stopped by the officers who were on duty on Friday,
December 2. According to an official police statement, she was pulled out of
the front seat to the back seat where the officers allegedly took turns to rape
her."
