The incident, which involves a 25-year-old man and the teenager, allegedly took place in Bonwapitse (10km West of Mahalapye) after a drinking spree on Saturday night.

Mahalapye police station commander, Superintendent Isaac Mamadi said the matter was reported to them on Sunday morning. He said that according to the victim, the two lovebirds were drinking together on Saturday night and then went to the suspect’s home in Bonwapitse.

“According to the girlfriend, when they got home the suspect had sexual intercourse with her (victim) without her consent. She said though they were in love, she told the man that she did not want to have sex with him but the man just insisted,” explained Mamadi.

Mamadi said they had not yet managed to arrest the suspect, as the victim did not have the required details to pinpoint the man.

“We have not yet arrested the culprit because the victim doesn’t know his surname or where he stays. She told us that she was drunk when they went to the man’s house and thus she cannot locate the place now.”

In a separate case, that had even the police scratching their heads, Mamadi said police are investigating a matter in which a 29-year-old woman said she was raped by her 31-year-old boyfriend at the man’s place in Mahalapye on Sunday night. However, the matter was complicated by the fact that the woman said the boyfriend promised her P200 for sex and that her rape claim was filed because he did not pay up after the act as he had promised.

“The matter is very complicated because the woman said the man was her boyfriend and that they agreed that after having sex, she would get the P200.

“The victim says she was used because she was not given what she demanded at the end of the act. She told police that had she been given the P200 she requested, she would have let the man go and not reported him.”

Mamadi said the suspect on the other hand admitted that he had intercourse with the woman, whom he said was his girlfriend. He however said, according to Mamadi,

 there was no agreement to pay P200.

“Unlike the other case in which the victim and suspect were drunk, in the second case the two were not drunk,” he said.
