The case relates to a complaint laid with the Midrand police by his girlfriend in September 2020 that resulted in his arrest and subsequent release on bail of R2,000.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said Lorch was arrested on 7 September 2020. His arrest followed an incident at his place of residence in Midrand on 6 September 2020 when he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend. Fundiswa Nokuphiwa Mathithibala said she was visiting Lorch when he left her at his home to go out with his friend.
