The man, who cannot be identified in order to protect the victim, is accused of raping a 16-year-old relative three times on 13 and 14 February.<\/p>\n

He was also charged with three counts of incest for each of the alleged rapes.<\/p>\n

The accused stated that he has a previous conviction of robbery with aggravating circumstances in 2005 for which he received a 15 year imprisonment sentence as well as a pending case of theft of a motor vehicle for which he is currently out on bail.<\/p>\n
