In this case and most cases if the women/girl gets to a doctor fast enough there will be enough physical evidence.
Agreed completely. I am however willing to be that very few cases have this type of evidence.

He must have gotten a shave in prison.

Not this type or this much, but most still should have enough.Agreed completely. I am however willing to be that very few cases have this type of evidence.
A KwaZulu-Natal man has been arrested after allegedly raping a six-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy on the same day.
According to police reports, the 35-year-old from Hammarsdale approached his first victim while the boy was on his way to a local store.
“The suspect was driving a marked company vehicle when he asked the boy for directions to the Roman Catholic church,” explains KZN SAPS spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele.
She says the boy reportedly got into the truck with the man but he drove past the church.
“The suspect drove past and stopped in a deserted area where he allegedly raped the boy,” Colonel Mbele told Drum.
The alleged rapist reportedly drove the little boy back to where he’d been picked up after the alleged incident.
The suspect then allegedly went to a house in the area where he found two children playing.
“He took a six-year-old girl and raped her too,” Colonel Mbele alleges.
A case of rape was opened at the Inchanga Police Station and both victims described the same man to the police.
“Investigations led the police to a company in Hammarsdale where they found a lead on the man who was driving the company vehicle,” reveals Colonel Thembeka.
The suspect was subsequently apprehended on Friday morning and will appear at the Pinetown Magistrate Court on Tuesday.
Why then not the same outrage, press coverage and number of people attending court?
Why did he try to wipe out his entire family and attempt to kill his sister, Marli, on that fateful Wednesday of January 27, 2015 – the day Martin van Breda, wife Teresa and son Rudi were found axed to death?
Yesterday, Judge Siraj Desai sentenced Van Breda to three life terms, 15 years’ imprisonment for attempted murder and 12 months’ imprisonment for obstructing the course of justice. The sentences will run concurrently.
Kimberley - Don Steenkamp, the boy who killed his own father, mother and sister, turned 18 on Friday, after spending the second day of his 20-year sentence behind bars at the Kimberley Prison.
He was sentenced by Northern Cape High Court Judge President Frans Kgomo to an effective 20 years in prison on charges of murder, rape and defeating the ends of justice, earlier this weekend.
Johannesburg - The Ekurhuleni teenager who allegedly hacked his family to death with an axe will undergo a 30-day psychiatric evaluation before his case begins.
The 14-year-old boy was arrested on May 24 in the Barcelona informal settlement in Etwatwa after he is believed to have killed his mother, five-year-old brother and three-month-old sister while they slept in their shack
Just to put into perspective. A week before this news story broke another news story where a 6 year old girl and 10 year old boy was raped by the same man.

Similarities between the two
- 6 year old girl is raped
- Rapist is a stranger
- Both appeared in court
Why then not the same outrage, press coverage and number of people attending court?
People seem to forget the Gupta fake news campaign where they wanted to distract the population from rampant government corruption and failings by promoting white danger in the press and social media. They created their own newspaper and TV station for this purpose. Now with those gone I bet social media will be used more to spread white danger news for distraction purposes.
Fuel is rapidly rising, currency was declared junk by rating agencies, country is in recession and more jobs are being lost despite population increasing. Government desperately need as many distractions as possible.
It doesn't surprise me the state didn't ask him to plead despite overwhelming evidence.
So they are weighing up obstruction vs child porn charges... also perhaps some contacts that have the same thing.He's forcing the prosecution to obtain a warrant by which time they can lose or wipe the phone if it isn't already done.
Having read most of the comments in this thread some thing occurred to me.Because of being a minor people are extra sensitive and get far more aggressive compared to an adult being raped it. Rape is rape whether a minor or an adult and should be treated equally, yet sentencing doesn't reflect this, raping a minor gets far more attention which makes me feel that adult rape is far less "rapey" in the eyes of the public and opinion. female rape whether a minor or adult both are equally vulnerable in their own right, and when an adult male is raped by a female adult its a big fat joke.Just an observation..... Yes it's a minor and tricky subject but the biases astounds me in general.
No, that he will be vilified as an evil white person.Eh? Are you implying his actions will be excused or defended?
I can't think that the media coverage and public outrage would be so different if both news stories happened in the US.It has more coverage because it happened in a popular restaurant chain in which many people would think their kids are safe. Not out in the street or some random place / someones home.
It is because we are naturally protective of children. There could be many reasons for this, one of which being that we instinctively know that if something happens to human children, the human species might die out.
So when something hurts a child, we react with more emotion. We are more concerned.
This is not to say that an adult being raped is not serious - it is extremely serious! It is just that, we value children often more than we value ourselves.
When you drive around in a parking lot, are you more worried about hitting a child, or hitting an adult? If you had to swerve to either hit an adult, or hit a child, which would you pick? Most of us would swerve to hit the adult if we had to choose, and that brings me to another point - children are more fragile than us.
This poor child will be more harmed than an adult would be, if the adult was raped. Again I am not saying that rape is not a terrible and disgusting crime - it is. And adults are also scarred for life - mentally and physically. However, the scarring endured by this little girl will be far worse.
That.....being a judge in a case like this is not even remotely fun.....
No, that he will be vilified as an evil white person.
Ayy, if you're gonna expropriate my thread then get your spelling right.
