 A Western Cape policeman accused of raping a 65-year-old woman appeared in the Robertson Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate said the 37-year-old sergeant, based at the McGregor police station, will be back in court on Monday for a bail application.

IPID spokesperson, Moses Dlamini, says the alleged rape occurred while the policeman was off-duty.

He was arrested at his home on Sunday and his vehicle seized for forensic investigation.
