Johannesburg - A Western Cape policeman was arrested on
Monday for allegedly raping a woman in the Langebaan police station, the
Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) said.
The 53-year-old officer was taken into custody after
allegedly raping the woman, 23, who was arrested for possession of tik and
Mandrax on Friday, November 16, spokesperson Moses Dlamini said.
"[He] took the victim out of the cells to his
office. The suspect then allegedly forced the victim to perform oral sex on
him," Dlamini said.
One of his colleagues interrupted him and the woman was
taken back to the cells. The officer returned to the cell where he allegedly raped
her. He allegedly raped her again on Sunday.
The matter was reported to the Ipid on November 22 and
the officer was arrested on Monday. He would appear in the Langebaan
Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
