The man accused of raping a minor in the bathroom of a Dros restaurant in Silverton, east of Pretoria, is due to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
It is expected the results of Nicolas Ninow’s 30-day evaluation at the Weskoppies psychiatric hospital will be made known.
The 20-year-old’s referral to the psychiatric hospital came after it was submitted to the court that he suffered from bipolar disorder and drug abuse since the age of 14.
This will be Ninow’s fifth court appearance.
It is understood he followed the seven-year-old to the female’s bathroom where he subsequently snatched her, led her to the men’s bathroom and proceeded to rape her.
He faces charges of rape, intimidation and possession of drugs.
*Though the law prohibits identifying someone accused of a sexual offence before this individual has pleaded to the charge, Caxton made an editorial decision to name Ninow following the circumstances around his previous appearance on 2 October 2018.
