A 24-year-old man was recently arrested by the Primrose police on a charge of statutory rape.<\/p>\n
The incident was reported to the police by the parents of a 15-year-old girl.<\/p>
\u201cThe mother told officers she dropped her daughter at her school in the morning as normal, but she never came home.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth parents tried to call her but could not get hold of her,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
\u201cA family member was later able to trace her phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The family found her with the accused.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe reportedly confessed that they had slept together,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The matter was reported to the police and the suspect was arrested.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
