A South African man has been arrested and charged after reports that he sexually assaulted his teenage daughter.
The 37-year-old man, who can’t be identified for the sake of his daughter, appeared before a Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court to face the charges.
He was said to have raped the 17-year-old girl and then on finding her with a young boy, he shoved a heated spear into her vagina.
According to reports:
The man is alleged to have raped his daughter several times since August last year.
This was only reported to the police last week after the father allegedly used a spear, heated on a fire, to insert into her genitals.
It is alleged that on the night of 5 January, he found her in a closed toilet with a boy. The boy fled.
He then made a fire, heated the spear on it, and allegedly assaulted her with it. The girl managed to escape and ran to her neighbour’s house for help.
Plessislaer cluster police spokesperson Captain Musa Ntombela confirmed that they are investigating a sexual assault case.
The father was remanded in custody until 27 January.
