The Primrose police recently arrested a 29-year-old man in the Makause informal settlement, on a charge of rape.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after the victim came to the Primrose Police Station and laid a charge of rape against the man.<\/p>
She claimed that she had been at her home with her baby and boyfriend, when her boyfriend demanded that they have sex.<\/p>\n
The victim said no, as she had given birth to her baby only two weeks earlier and was not ready to have sex.<\/p>
It is alleged that the accused ignored this, pushed her onto a bed and had sex with her by force.<\/p>\n
He then left the home.<\/p>\n
“A while later, it is alleged, the man returned to the home and demanded sex again,” said Const Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose SAPS.<\/p>\n
“Again the victim refused, she was then assaulted and forced to have sex with the man a second time.<\/p>\n
“It was after this second attack that the victim reported the incident to the police.”<\/p>\n
Detectives travelled to the victim’s home, where they found the accused.<\/p>\n
He was arrested and transported to the Primrose Police Station, where he will be detained pending his appearance in the Germiston Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n
Maome appealed to the community, saying: “Do not force yourself onto your partner. When she says no, respect her decision, irrespective of her being your partner or wife.”<\/p>\n
