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.
