Woman spoke up months later
A FORMER Legal Aid attorney who now practices privately is facing a charge of rape on allegations that he forced a client to perform sexual favours in exchange for services.
It’s alleged the attorney, who worked at Wynberg Magistrate's Court, in November 2022 unlawfully and intentionally raped his victim by placing his genitals in her mouth.
Currently out on R1000 bail, he no longer works as a Legal Aid lawyer after he apparently resigned and now practices privately.
He made his latest appearance in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on May 23, and is set to make another on July 18.
A whistle-blower, who asked not to be identified for fear of victimisation, said: “He allegedly forced a female client to give him a blowjob in exchange for doing a bail application for her. She disclosed the incident months later in 2023 when the matter eventually went to trial. When he learnt of the allegations, he resigned from Legal Aid and has been practicing privately since and still represents clients.”
According to a Facebook page under his name, he practices privately and shares his contact details with the public.
The Cape Argus has since approached him for comment about the allegations.
