Cop arrested for rape
By Sapa | May 14, 2013
The policeman was out on
bail for two other child rape cases at the time of his arrest, said Ipid
spokesman Moses Dlamini.
A warrant officer arrested for allegedly raping a teenage girl in
Mamelodi, north of Pretoria, would appear in the Mamelodi West Magistrate's
Court on Tuesday, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) said.
The policeman was
out on bail for two other child rape cases at the time of his arrest, said Ipid
spokesman Moses Dlamini.
He said the 48-year-old officer was expected to bring a formal bail
application, which Ipid would oppose.
The man is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in April this year.
Dlamini said the teenager's guardian asked the community police forum to
talk to the girl when she refused to do her chores.
The officer fetched the girl from her house, and indicated to the family
that she would be attended to by a female officer.
Instead, he took her to a fast food outlet and bought her a meal, before
taking her to his house and raping her. He went back to fetch her the next day.
"As he was preparing to rape the girl, she managed to escape after
asking to go to the toilet," said Dlamini.
She reported the matter to police she came across while fleeing.
Dlamini said the warrant officer handed himself over to police a week
later.
He was already out on bail on two child rape cases in KwaMhlanga in
Mpumalanga, and in Mamelodi East.
Dlamini said the girls in the two cases were aged eight and
12-years-old.
