An alleged rapist, who lives in Primrose, was nabbed by the EMPD Community Liaison Unit, last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Chief Supt Wilfred Kgasago, the spokesperson for the EMPD, said the modus operandi of the man is to post photos of his size-enhanced private parts with implanted beads to lure women to meet him for drinks at an agreed upon location.<\/p>
\u201cHe normally would choose a tavern where drinks would be enjoyed and engage victims in charming conversation to lull them into a false sense of security.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim is then intimidated and taken to where the rape would take place,\u201d said Kgasago.<\/p>
The perpetrator arranged to meet a 35-year-old woman at a tavern in Phomolong in Tembisa, on April 1.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt around 9pm, when the woman was tipsy, the man allegedly threatened her with a pair of scissors and forcefully took her to a house in Ebony Park where she was allegedly raped repeatedly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim was allowed to go free in the morning,\u201d said Kgasago.<\/p>\n
