More evidence in Zuma’s defence

Forensic psychologist Louise Olivier told former deputy president Jacob Zuma’s rape trial that emotional transference could lead a victim of previous rape to perceive consensual sex as rape afterwards. Testifying for Zuma in the Johannesburg High Court, Olivier also questioned whether his rape accuser froze during the alleged rape at his Johannesburg home in November last year. Olivier said Zuma’s accuser could have had consensual sex, but because of transference from the past there was a change in what one believed. Earlier the complainant told the court she had been raped several times between the ages of five and 13.
