Tshepo Lethebe took the woman to his house where he raped her.
Signalling a win for Women’s Month, three years and seven months later, justice has been served for a 21-year-old mentally challenged victim who was taken from her home and raped.
The Sasolburg High Court in Bloemfontein recently sentenced Tshepo Lethebe to 15 years of direct imprisonment for raping a mentally challenged woman. “The accused was arrested the same day by Sergeant Sara Maleka and attended trial until he was sentenced on 08 August 2024,” said Sergeant Sinah Mpakane.
“It was discovered during trial that on Sunday, 7 February 2021, the victim was at her place when the accused entered her house and without uttering a word, he grabbed her by hand and dragged her to his place,” said Mpakane.When the victim and Lethebe arrived at his place of residence, the suspect then undressed and proceeded to rape the woman.This gave her an opportunity to get up and dress herself before making her escape.
