Black male gets 28 years for raping 13-year old boy

A West Rand man has been sentenced to 28 years in prison by the Krugersdorp Magistrate’s Court for raping and robbing a 13-year-old boy, Beeld reported on Tuesday.

“In prison you can rape prisoners if you feel like it; at least you won’t be around little children,” magistrate Herman Badenhorst was quoted as telling Neo Molaudzi on Monday.

Molaudzi reportedly attacked the teenager, who is now 14, while he walking to school in September 2012. He threatened the youth with a piece of broken glass and pulled him into an alley where he raped him and robbed him of R10.

According to Beeld, Molaudzi, 22, said he was sorry for the crimes and that he felt “under pressure from the court”, but at the same time denied raping the boy.

Badenhorst reportedly said: “You forgot your semen was found on the boy. You have already been convicted, I’m sure you feel under pressure.”

Molaudzi had previously repeatedly been convicted of burglary and theft.

“You are clearly a danger and I need you out of the community as long as possible,” Badenhorst said.

The newspaper reported that Molaudzi asked for leave to appeal, but Badenhorst refused and said the DNA evidence was overwhelming, the rapist’s testimony had been false and he had tried to mislead the court. – Sapa

11-year old New Zealand boy fathers child to 36-year old woman

An 11-year-old New Zealand boy was reported Saturday to have fathered a child with the 36-year-old mother of a school friend, raising questions on why women cannot be charged with rape in the country.

Counsellors working in the area of child sexual abuse said the case highlighted a lack of attention to women as potential offenders, according to the New Zealand Herald, which reported the story.

The case has also prompted an examination of the law, under which the crime of rape applies only to men.

Justice Minister Judith Collins said she would investigate, the paper reported.

“This case raises an important point. I will seek advice from officials on whether or not a law change is required,” Collins said.

The woman and boy, whose names were not released, live in the main North Island district of Auckland.

The boy’s school principal told the New Zealand Herald that he was shocked when the child told him what was happening.

“You won’t be very happy with me,” he recalled the boy saying late last year. He said he had been having sex with his friend’s mother “and it needs to stop”.

The organisation Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse said if the case is proved then the woman should be held accountable.

Under New Zealand law, the crime of rape applies only to men and carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years.

Women who force a male to have sex face a charge of sexual violation which carries a maximum 14-year sentence.

According to the newspaper, government welfare officials — who took the baby into care about two months ago — confirmed they were dealing with a case at the boy’s school and that it was before the courts, but refused to comment further. The police also refused to comment.

The Herald reported that the young father, who has now turned 12, was also understood to have been taken into care.- AFP

White man from Pretoria sues police for wrongful arrest, rape by cell full of black detainees

A Pretoria man who claims that fellow detainees in police cells spent a night raping and assaulting him after he was unlawfully arrested, is suing the minister of police for more than R1 million, Beeld reported on Monday.

According to documents handed in at the High Court in Pretoria, the victim was released unconditionally, but later in the same case re-arrested and assaulted in the police cells for a second time, before again being released unconditionally.

According to the victim’s lawyer, Robert van Wyk, his client, who lived in Brooklyn and was expected to testify on Monday, was extremely traumatised and humiliated by the attacks.

He reportedly had to undergo three courses of anti-retroviral drugs to combat HIV.

“Fortunately he was HIV-negative,” Van Wyk said.

The victim had brought two claims against the minister of police, the first of which, for R940,000, was due to the arrest and detention involving the alleged rape, and the second, for R150,000, was for the second arrest and detention.

The plaintiff was arrested on September 16, 2011 at the Rustenburg Mall on charges of human trafficking and taken to the Rustenburg police cells, where he was detained in a cell along with about 20 other men.

He alleged that they stripped him, sexually assaulted him, raped, and severely beat him until 6am the next morning.

He asked police several times the next day to see to his needs and told them that he had been assaulted and raped, but they reportedly did nothing, and refused to allow him to call his family.

Police had denied all the allegations. – Sapa
