"SHE is not the same child".

Those are the haunting words of the mom of the Hanover Park girl who was found with a convicted child rapist, who is charged with the rape and kidnapping of the nine-year-old meisie.

She spoke out after learning that the 51-year-old accused was out on parole after being sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in 2008 for raping a 10-year-old.

The parolee appeared in the Wynberg Magistrates Court on Friday where he was formally charged with rape, kidnapping, human trafficking, and sexual assault after being found with the girl after allegedly abducting her last Tuesday after giving her a R20 to buy him some milk.
