PICTURE: PixabayIt is alleged that a 44-year-old police officer stationed at the Forensic Science Laboratory in Plattekloof allegedly raped the 6-year-old boy on 16 June 2024. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) said the boy's mother visited the police officer who is a neighbour, where she was accompanied by her 6-year-old boy.
‘’The mother fell asleep on the couch after they drank
alcohol and the police officer allegedly raped the boy whilst the mother was
sleeping. The following day, the 6-year-old boy reported the incident to one of
the community members and a case of rape was reported to IPID,’’ said Phuladi
Shuping, IPID spokesperson.
The police officer was arrested and he appeared in court on
Thursday. The case was postponed to 01 July 2024 for a formal bail application
and he will remain in custody.
