It was not immediately clear whether Ninow intended to appeal his sentence or his conviction, or both.
Jailed child rapist Nicholas Ninow will launch an appeal in the North Gauteng High Court this week.Convicted child rapist Nicholas Ninow is expected back in the high court in Pretoria on Friday.
The National Prosecuting Authority said on Tuesday that Ninow was expected to launch an appeal after being jailed for raping a seven-year-old girl in a Dros restaurant in Silverton, Pretoria, in September 2018. He had, however, pleaded guilty to the crime. During his sentencing in October 2019, judge Papi Mosopa said there had been overwhelming evidence against Ninow.
He took into consideration how Ninow’s victim had constant nightmares about her attack and was scared of being in the company of men.He handed Ninow a life sentence for the rape and topped that with five years for drug possession and defeating the ends of justice. The sentences were expected to run concurrently.
