The Dros rape accused Nicholas Ninow has been found guilty of
rape and defeating the ends of justice. Nicholas who was accused of raping a 7-year-old

been ongoing since last year and last week the 7-year-old girl took to the stand.
The girl took the stand with her mother and a former employee at the Dros restaurant.
Last week the 21-year-old confessed to raping the seven-year-old girl in the ladies’
bathroom at the Dros restaurant. Ninow pleaded not guilty to assault.
In a guilty plea read out by his legal
representative, Ninow confessed to raping the little girl who was then 7 after
she had walked in on him while he was in the women’s bathroom using drugs.
Judge Papi Masopo delivered his verdict this morning and the verdict read “On
the charge of Rape, you are found guilty, possession of drugs you are found
guilty, assault you are not found guilty, defeating or obstructing the ends of
the administration of justice you are found guilty.” After the verdict the
judge announced that sentencing will proceed on the 16th of October.
Prior to the court proceedings Nicholas Ninow was said to be mentally ill but
the judge ruled that out saying “the convicted rapist did not suffer from
mental illness to not recognize that his actions were wrong”.
