"Baby Black" accused of rape


A New Zealand Under-20 rugby player has been accused of raping a woman at a hotel in Cape Town.

National police spokesperson, Colonel Vish Naidoo, says officers were called to the hotel on Saturday morning when a 22-year-old woman claimed one of the "Baby Blacks" had raped her.

He says Police forensic experts were on the scene at the hotel scouring the crime scene and taking samples.

The New Age newspaper reports that the New Zealand High Commission held top-level negotiations with police about the incident and to secure the whole team's safe passage from South Africa on Saturday night.
