Student in gang rape case

The matter was adjourned to January 22. Attorney, Karabo Pogiso, volunteered to represent the trio pro bono and sought time to consult them. “I offer to assist the accused on a pro bono basis and I apply that another mention date be set to consult further with them,” Pogiso told the court.

The three are alleged to have raped a woman at Block One location in Francistown in May this year after drinking alcohol at a party. It is said the boys realised the woman was heavily intoxicated, so they followed her while she left the party to go home and gang-raped her.
