A man who raped his stepdaughter in April last year has been sentenced to life imprisonment.Ntuzuma regional court on Friday sentenced a 25-year-old man to life imprisonment for the rape of his stepdaughter in April last year.
The 15-year-old was at her maternal grandmother’s house: “He lied to the grandmother that the girl’s mother was sick in hospital and he needed the child to go with him. As he and the child were on their way, he led her to an isolated area and raped her,” said National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara.She was taken to the Phoenix Thuthuzela Care Centre where she received psychosocial services, counselling and support.
Harripersadh also handed in a victim impact statement compiled by the teen and facilitated by court preparation officer Senziwe Mthethwa.“The National Prosecuting Authority welcomes this successful prosecution. It is our mandate to prosecute and get justice for all, especially those belonging to vulnerable groups. We hope that this sentence will deter like-minded individuals,” Ramkisson-Kara said.
