Sexual assault of girl (9), 'house father' at a children’s home sentenced

Johan Du Bruyn (62) was convicted to 12 years imprisonment for sexual assault in the Johannesburg Magistrate Court on 13 February 2020, after being arrested on 10 April 2018, by Langlaagte police.

The accused was a house father at a children’s home where he sexually assaulted a 9-year-old girl who reported the matter to a social worker.

The conviction is the result of a diligent work done by the investigating officer Sergeant Cyprian Winna Baloyi of Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit.

We hope this sentence will scare away would-be offenders from committing the same crimes.
