PORT ELIZABETH – The Family Violence Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit in Port Elizabeth is seeking the community’s assistance in tracing a rape suspect.
It is alleged that on 06 January 2020 at about 11:30, a 16-year-old teenager was dropped off on the N2 – Kragga Kamma split. A white bakkie was about to drive off when the driver stopped. He offered the teenager a lift as she was heading towards Humansdorp. According to the victim, he was going to Greenbushes to drop off a battery. As they neared the spot where she had to get off, the driver continued driving and parked the bakkie in bushes where he allegedly raped her. He then left her on the side of the road and drove off. The teenager flagged a passing motorist and she was taken to SAPS Kabega Park and reported the incident.
The suspect has light brown eyes and he wears a beard. He is medium built and is approximately 35-40 years old. He was wearing dark blue faded jeans and a black T-shirt. He has short brown/ black hair.
