Cape Town - A Western Cape police captain
will appear in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Monday for allegedly raping a
prostitute, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) said.
The officer, from the province's special task
force, was arrested on Thursday, spokesperson Moses Dlamini said.
A 26-year-old woman claimed he had approached
her in a bakkie on 3 August at 03:30 and asked her for oral sex.
While she was providing this service, the man
allegedly wanted to have sex with her, Dlamini said.
"When the sex worker refused, the man
allegedly assaulted her and had sex with her without her consent."
The woman managed to escape from the vehicle
and took down the registration number.
Dlamini said it was found that the bakkie
belonged to the policeman.
The officer is facing charges of rape and
assault.
