The man was arrested after the victim of the alleged attack opened a case against him at the Primrose Police Station.

“The woman told officers that she was out with friends at a local tavern when the accused approached her and forced her outside, saying he wanted to talk to her,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“Once outside he allegedly threatened her with a sharp object and forced her back to his shack, where he allegedly ordered her to undress and penetrated her by force without using any protection.”
