Jordan said the case highlighted the distorted human rights issue we have in the country.
A legal expert says the disappearance of alleged child sex ring kingpin Gerhard Ackerman’s blame should be placed on the doors of the police for failing sure he does not abscond. Ackerman was out on bail on a similar charge in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on two separate counts of sexual assault of a minor involving two young boys in 2018 before the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court granted him bail in 2021.
“If the person doesn’t appear on the second day, then go look for him. The reason the court said he should report to the police station every day was that they saw that they might be a possibility for him to abscond.”He said it should not be ruled out Ackerman was assisted by one of his clients who did not want to be an accomplice to the matter.
