Uitenhage armed response officer in court for rape


 Uitenhage man (38) is expected to appear in court today in connection with the alleged sexual assault of his 13-year-old stepdaughter.

Police spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Priscilla Naidu, says he will be charged with rape.

She says relatives noticed a change in the teenager's behaviour and she later disclosed the incident.

Police were informed and the man, who is an armed response officer at a local security business, was arrested on Wednesday.

Naidu says the stepfather was allegedly besotted with the teenager and had sent her letters and messages declaring his love for her.
