TimesLIVE reports that the Pretoria Magistrate's Court has granted R8,000 bail to a 59-year-old police captain from the Pretoria Police Training Academy, who is accused of raping a 20-year-old female trainee and sexually assaulting another trainee.
The officer allegedly raped the trainee on 6 May after having allegedly sexually assaulted another trainee in March. The incidents allegedly took place in his office at the training college. Police spokesperson Lizzy Suping said that on 6 May, the 20-year-old trainee was walking with her colleagues to their sleeping quarters when the captain called her to his office. “In the office, the captain allegedly locked the door and told the trainee if she did not sleep with him he would serve her with a misconduct letter regarding an incident that allegedly happened in April, where the captain accused the trainee of failing to salute him,” Suping indicated.
