A woman alleged she was sexually assaulted by a 21-year-old man while out with friends in Rietfontein Road, recently.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim told police she was at a local bar with friends when she decided to go and get some food at a local restaurant,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
\u201cShe asked her neighbour, who was also at the bar, to accompany her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once they received their food, the accused reportedly asked the victim to come home with him, but she refused and said she was going back to her friends.<\/p>
\u201cThe accused allegedly pulled the victim into Ash Road, where he forcefully pulled down her jeans, dropped his trousers and began fondling her and touching her private parts,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The man was reportedly frightened away when he heard people from the nearby bar approaching.<\/p>\n
The victim reported the matter to police and the accused was soon arrested and charged with sexual assault.<\/p>\n
He will appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
