A 36-year-old prosecutor from Upington in the Northern Cape is in police custody following his arrest for allegedly raping his partner, who is a police officer.
A spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority Mojalefa Senokoatsane says he is facing two counts of rape, one of sexual assault and one for contravening the Domestic Violence Act of 1998 for ignoring a protection order.
He says it is further alleged that he raped his partner in front of their two-year-old daughter and for that, he faces another charge for compelling a child to witness a sexual offence.
The matter has been postponed to the 22nd of November for a possible bail application.
The alleged rapes took place on the 13th of November 2022.
