The Independent Police Investigative
Directorate has arrested a police captain from the Special Task Force for rape
in the Western Cape
IPID
Spokesperson Moses Dlamini said it is alleged that a 26-year-old sex worker was
walking when the police officer stopped the car and asked the women to get into
the car requesting to have oral sex with her.
Dlamini said that the police man then wanted
to have sex with the complainant but she refused and it resulted in the police
officer forcing himself on her, raped her and assaulted her.
“She managed to escape and took down the
registration number, which was traced and the owner was then identified as a
police officer,” added Dlamini.
Furthermore Dlamini said that IPID was then
notified and an investigation was launched and the suspect was arrested on the
8th of August.
He also explained that the suspect will
appear in the Wynberg Magistrates court on Monday on charges of rape and
assault.
