A 38-year-old father will serve life behind bars after he was sentenced for repeatedly raping his biological son between 2019 and 2021.
This week the Madadeni Regional Court sentenced the father who perpetrated the crimes at Madadeni, in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, said the boy lived with both his parents and brother.
“The accused raped the complainant on diverse occasions when his mother was not around. At some point, the complainant, his mother, and his brother went to live with the mother’s family. While living there, the accused would fetch the children and their mother for visits. During this time, the accused continued to rape the complainant.
