Accused sex pest teacher is out on R5000 bail

The 35-year-old accused appeared in the Mitchell's Plain Magistrates Court facing charges of sexual grooming of a child and exposing a child to explicit material.

The court heard arguments from the State and the teacher's lawyer in her bail application.

The State previously heard a testimony from the investigating officer in the matter, Warrant Officer Roland Peters on behalf of the State, saying the teacher had her eyes on the minor for a while and wanted to “do things to him”.

They argued that they have a prima facie case to which the accused needs to answer after the evidence was heard by Peters.
