Raphael Martin returned to the Mitchells Plain Regional Court on Tuesday which heard that he has a new legal representative after previously running out of money to pay his former lawyer.

Martin was busted nearly five years ago when the brave Strandfontein meisie broke her silence on the sex attacks.

At the time, she was just 13 years old and told her parents that she had been raped multiple times over a three-year period by Martin who was a family friend.
