After a while the neighbour who sent them went searching for the 11-year-old child and found the suspect busy fixing his trousers and the child&#8217;s pair of jeans unzipped.

He enquired about what had happened and it was said that the suspect raped the 11-year-old girl.<\/p>\n<p>The member took the suspect to Thaba Nchu Police station and he was detained and will be charged with rape and the child was taken to hospital for medical attention.
