The Primrose police recently arrested a 27-year-old Delport informal settlement man for allegedly raping his 11-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made when the child\u2019s mother, the accused\u2019s girlfriend, opened a case at the Primrose Police Station after she discovered the abuse that had allegedly been going on since January 2016.<\/p>
\u201cThe mother explained that she had come home from work late and when she arrived home the accused demanded to know where she had been.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe began assaulting her when she didn\u2019t answer,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
The couple\u2019s children witnessed the assault and the 11-year-old asked her father to stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe daughter asked her father to stop beating her mother because he was hurting her, the same way he hurt her when he forced his private parts into hers,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
