Regional court control prosecutor, Vicky Rossouw, appeared in the Humansdorp Magistrates’ Court on November 7, for allegedly failing to report sexual violation of a child in a rape and incest case where a 17-year-old girl from the Jeffreys Bay region was allegedly raped and sexually groomed by her father and half-brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

According to National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Luxolo Tyali, Rossouw is being charged with contravention of Section 54(1)(a) of the Sexual offences Act, 32 of 2007, which provides that a person who knows that a sexual offence has been committed against a child, must report the alleged offence to the police. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe state is alleging that she had knowledge that an offence of rape, incest and sexual assault was committed against a child, but she failed to immediately report it to the police,\u201d said Tyali.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n

As previously reported by the Kouga Express<\/strong><\/a>, the father, mother and half-brother were arrested in September this year after the teenage girl who is the alleged victim of rape and sexual grooming\u00a0opened a case against the two at Jeffreys Bay Police Station in August.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n

The three accused briefly appeared in the Humansdorp Magistrate’s Court on October 19, where the case was postponed to January 16, 2023, for further investigation. <\/p>\n

JBay rape, incest case postponed to January 2023<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n
\n

Tyali said Rossouw was released on warning and the matter was postponed for further investigations to November 28. <\/p>\n

He further said the NPA views this case in a very serious light and has commenced internal labour relations processes against the prosecutor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe enrollment of this case against one of our own is a clear indication that if there is enough evidence of a commission of a crime against anyone, the NPA will prosecute without fear, favour or prejudice,\u201d said Tyali.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, said on Monday, November 7 at around 11:00, members from Humansdorp FCS arrested Rossouw and moments later she briefly appeared in court, and was released on warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe circumstances surrounding the incident are forming part of the investigation,\u201d said Nkohli.\u00a0<\/p>\n
