The Primrose police arrested a man in Wolf Street, on a charge of rape, on Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that the victim and her friend were walking home along a street in Primrose when the 31-year-old man, who was driving a bakkie, stopped.<\/p>
The victim’s friend approached the man, who said he wasn’t interested in her and called the victim.<\/p>\n
“When the victim approached his vehicle, he allegedly asked her to have sex with him in exchange for money,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose SAPS.<\/p>
“They agreed to this and the victim suggested they go to her room, but the suspect refused.<\/p>\n
“He allegedly drove her to Walkers Street, parked on the pavement and forcefully had sex with her.<\/p>\n
“As the police we condemn the behaviour of both the suspect and the victim.”<\/p>\n
Maome added that the man should not have forced the woman to have sex with him, while the victim should not have got into a stranger’s vehicle.<\/p>\n
“We suspect that the woman is\/was one of the ‘ladies of the night’ in Primrose,” said Maome.<\/p>\n
The man appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
