A 50-year-old-man was sentenced for raping a 10 year old girl.The Worcester Regional Court has sentenced a 50-year-old child rapist to life imprisonment and ordered that his name be entered into the National Register for Sex Offenders and the Child Protection Register . It also declared him unfit to possess a firearm.
Regional Court prosecutor Elton Willemse led evidence that on the evening of 25 November 2017, the victim’s mother left her and her brother in the care of the accused’s wife while she was out to look for her husband.During the night the victim, her brother and the accused’s son slept at the bottom part of the bed while the accused and his wife slept at the top part of the bed. While asleep, she felt someone pulling down her underwear and when she woke up, she saw that it was the accused.
His wife woke up later and found the victim and her brother sitting on the couch waiting for the wife to take them home. When they got home, she asked her father to call the police because the accused raped her. He clearly showed no empathy towards the victim. Instead, he blames the victim and her parents for his woes. He did not take responsibility for his actions. The victim had to come to court and testify about the horrific ordeal she experienced when the accused raped her.
