Johannesburg - A Western Cape policeman has
been arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old boy in Worcester, the
Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) said on Wednesday.
The officer, based at the Worcester police
station, was arrested on Tuesday for the crime committed on 30 June, IPID
spokesperson Moses Dlamini said.
The boy was alone at home at the time of the
attack. His mother was working a night shift at the time.
"There was a knock on the door, but when
the boy went to the door there was no one. The victim, who was scared, went to
the neighbour's flat to report the anonymous knock," Dlamini said.
He told him to sit down, and that he was the
one who had knocked. He then allegedly raped him.
Dlamini said the boy reported the matter to
his mother in October. The police were informed and he was arrested.
The man would appear in the Worcester
Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
