A 49-year-old man who raped a four-year-old girl on Christmas Day in 2019 was jailed for life by the Bloemfontein sexual offences court on Wednesday.
“He told the complainant [minor] he bought her clothes for Christmas and she must come to his room to fit them. The complainant went to Dasheka’s room and that’s when he raped her,” said NPA spokesperson Phaladi Shuping.Shuping said Dasheka was arrested on the same day.
“Dasheka pleaded guilty and asked the court, through his lawyer, to deviate from the minimum prescribed sentence because he saved court time by pleading guilty. “However, the state prosecutor, advocate Ronell Botha, asked the court not to do this as Dasheka pleaded guilty because he was aware the state had overwhelming evidence against him,” Phaladi said.
