Johannesburg - A Gugulethu police officer has been accused
of sexually abusing and robbing a prostitute, the Independent Police
Investigative Directorate said on Wednesday.
The police officer allegedly approached the woman where
she was working on Voortrekker Road in Parow, Cape Town on 7 July at 16:10, the
IPID said in a statement.
"The man identified himself as a police officer and
then forced her to perform oral sex on him. He apparently threatened to arrest
her if she refused."
The police officer then allegedly stole R170 from the
woman.
The woman reported the incident to the Gugulethu police
station the following day.
IPID has opened a case of rape and is investigating.
