Ipid’s acting spokesperson Grace Langa said the police officer, whose age is yet to be established, was on duty at Cambridge police station in East London when he left his post for the police barracks where the alleged rape took place last week. “It is alleged the girl reported the matter to her aunt, who reported it to the police. It is unclear where the child’s mother, who is also a police officer, was at the time of the incident."
Langa said investigators have ensured the teenager has received counselling and medical examinations were conducted. “The child is being kept safely where she is protected. The age of the suspect is unknown to Ipid and investigations are underway.”
