CAPE TOWN - A court has ordered a Cape Town policeman accused of
raping two boys to undergo medical treatment
while in custody for severe back pain.
The warrant officer had trouble standing up straight as a result of the
pain when he appeared in the Blue Downs Magistrates Court yesterday.
The 40-year-old policeman was arrested by the Independent Police
Investigative Directorate on Wednesday for allegedly sexually assaulting two
14-year-old boys on numerous occasions.
He allegedly sexually assaulted the two boys on
several occasions over a number of years and reporedly paid the boys so they
wouldn't report him to authorities.
The man faces 10 counts of statutory rape and eight counts of sexual
assault.
He has since been suspended from the South African Police Service and
will remain in custody at Pollsmoor Prison until his next court appearance on
11 July.
The case was postponed yesterday for bail information and in order for
the accused to finalise his legal representation.
