He would tell the girl that he was preparing her for the future and in 2013, she fell pregnant, however, the pregnancy was terminated.
“In 2014, she reported the abuse to the police and the suspect was arrested,” said Ngoepe.
The Saps Provincial Commissioner LT. General Nneke Jim Ledwaba, has applauded the team of detectives in the Seshego Cluster Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit who were involved in the investigation of what he says is a heinous incident.
