Man gets a 18 year jail term for repeatedly raping girl (11)

A 62 year old man, Phillip Victor Mthimunye, was handed an 18 year jail term by the Mdutjana Regional Court on 25 June 2019, for repeatedly raping an 11 year old girl.

The court heard that the accused had repeatedly raped the girl since November 2016 and would give her money thereafter. The matter was discovered by the victim’s mother who grew suspicious when she, one day, noticed her daughter holding a ten rand note and when questioned, she admitted that the accused had given it to her after having slept with her, a deed that had been occurring since 2016.

The matter was then reported to the police on 21 December 2017 and the accused was arrested a day thereafter.
