arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning.
"It is alleged that on January 22 the complainant was at a friend's
place of residence. One of her friend's friends arrived with the suspect [and]
the suspect suggested that they go to his place of residence of which they
did," said Dlamini.
"It is alleged that after some time, the complainant's friend left
the complainant with the suspect. The suspect allegedly used drugs in front of
the complainant. After which he raped her using a condom."
The woman alleged that the metro officer then assaulted her and
prevented her from leaving.
"He allegedly raped her several times."
The woman fled the officer's house when he fell asleep and alerted metro
police who were driving around in the area.
"She took them to the scene and pointed out the suspect," said
Dlamini.
The man was arrested by his colleagues.
