According to No.12 District Officer Commanding, Senior Superintendent Mmoloke Sebako, the incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday.
Sebako said the victim reported that she had been drinking with the suspect and his friends before they went together to buy more alcohol and later proceeded to the suspect’s house.
“Whilst at his place, the victim told us that around 2am she felt sleepy and asked to rest inside the suspect’s bedroom. She said she was woken up by the suspect on top of her and that he subsequently raped her,” he explained.
Sebako added that the victim reported the matter to the police later that day around noon, after which officers immediately opened investigations.
“We have since launched a probe to establish what really transpired and the suspect has been arrested,” he said.
“He is currently in police custody assisting with rape investigations.”
