A 36-year-old man accused of raping his 14-year-old stepdaughter and exposing her to pornographic material has been remanded in custody by the Nelspruit Magistrate’s Court.

According to Mpumalanga police, the mother recently noticed that her daughter was behaving strangely and had self-inflicted cuts.

“She then investigated and discovered that she has been allegedly sexually molested by the stepfather, dating back to 2017.

The suspect is facing charges of rape, sexual assault, sexual grooming and displaying of pornographic material to a minor. He is expected back at the same court on April 15 2019, for a formal bail application,” police said.
