A 20-year-old man who pleaded guilty to raping four boys aged between four and eight has been sentenced to four life terms by the Pietermaritzburg regional court.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara said the incidents took place in May 2021 in the Imbali area outside Pietermaritzburg.
“He said he had initially considered suicide but decided to rape the boys instead. On the day of the incident, the children were playing outside his house when he called them individually into his room and raped them.”“Their father then approached the parents of the other boys and they all went to the Edendale Thuthuzela Care Centre where the matter was reported. At the TCC, the children received psychosocial intervention as well as holistic medico-legal assistance.
In aggravation of sentence, prosecutor Yashania Manickum told the court the man’s actions proved he was a danger to society and at such a young and impressionable age, the boys had learnt to distrust elders.
