- A Western Cape policeman was arrested on Monday for allegedly raping a woman
at 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 had been arrested for possession of tik and Mandrax on Friday, November
16, said spokesperson Moses Dlamini.
“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 the officer’s colleagues interrupted him and the woman was taken back to the
cells. The officer later returned to the cell, where he allegedly raped the
woman. 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. - Sapa
