A 36-year-old man received a life sentence for raping his girlfriend of eight years in November 2022, violating her trust and leaving her traumatised.Instead of being a Northern Cape woman’s protector, her boyfriend of eight years traumatised and betrayed her trust by forcing himself on her and raping her.
On that evening, the couple visited their friends before they left for their residence. When they arrived, the pair were preparing for bed when the accused told the victim to undress as he was undressing.) regional spokesperson Mojalefa Senokoatsane said the boyfriend then started to force his girlfriend to sleep with him, but she refused as she was on her period.
After some time, the accused left the room, and that’s when his girlfriend took the chance to escape and report the matter to the police station near her home. She was also taken to the hospital for medical examination. “The victim told the court how the events of that day had changed her life as it was done to her by a person she trusted, and she was expecting him to be her protector. That he violated her in a manner that did not show that he ever loved her. That it will take a very long time to trust people again,” Senokoatsane said.
