Nicholas Ninow changed tables at the Dros restaurant where he raped a seven-year-old child so that he could be closer to the children's area.
This was part of the testimony of an employee at the Silverton, Pretoria, restaurant on Monday. The employee asked not to be named.
Ninow is accused of raping a seven-year-old girl at the restaurant in September 2018.
Earlier on Monday, Ninow pleaded guilty to rape, possession of drugs and defeating the ends of justice in the Pretoria high court. He pleaded not guilty to an assault charge.
