A 16-year-old alleged serial rapist will appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court on Monday, police said in a statement.
The teenager lured a five-year-old child to his Makhaza home in Khayelitsha where he alleged raped her on Friday.
Police spokesperson Constable Noloyiso Rwexana said the teenager had also allegedly attacked and raped a nine-year-old girl repeatedly during the month of July.
Rwexana said he had used the “same modus operandi”.
Meanwhile, a 53-year-old man has also been arrested for allegedly raping three girls between the ages of 12 and 15 in Khayelitsha.
“The suspect would allegedly send his victims, who are between the ages of 12 and 15, to the shop. As soon as they came back the suspect locked the doors and raped them. He was arrested, charged for rape and appeared twice in Khayelitsha Magistrate court where he was remanded for a formal bail application on 17 August 2016”.
The statement urged community members to stand together and condemn “acts of this nature where young girls are being victimised”.
