Nicholas Ninow was sentenced to life in prison a month after the court found him guilty of rape, possession of drugs and defeating the ends of justice in the rape of a then 7-year-old girl.
Pretoria - Convicted Dros rapist Nicholas Ninow is expected to apply for leave to appeal against his conviction and subsequent life behind bars sentence.
It is not clear at this stage whether he will ask this division to hear his appeal or whether he will apply for leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein. Ngaa Murombedzi of the organisation Women and Men Against Child Abuse said they doubt that his prospects of succeeding with his application is high.
Handing down the sentence, Judge Mosopa said he took into account the fact that Ninow is a young adult, and has an infant child, but he said that Ninow had failed to prove that he was genuinely remorseful. Ninow was sentenced to life in prison a month after he was found guilty of rape, possession of drugs and defeating the ends of justice in connection with the rape of a then 7-year-old girl in the female toilets at the Dros restaurant in Silverton, Pretoria.
