Mogoditshane Police Station commander, superintendent Russ Letsebe told Mmegi that the 37-year-old was arrested at his home on Tuesday at Senthomole ward in Mogoditshane. 

“He was taken for questioning and was later released, but investigations on the matter are still ongoing. Tests were carried out amongst the duo (the victim and the suspect).

The DNA samples have been sent to the laboratory to establish if indeed there was sexual contact between them,” Letsebe said. 

Letsebe said the suspect is likely to be charged with defilement if the results come back positive.
