VAN ROOYEN ?CAN?T BE TRUSTED?

FLIPPIE van Rooyen, the son of dead paedophile Gert van Rooyen, has been found guilty on one charge of perjury in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court. Van Rooyen was charged with three counts of perjury after he allegedly gave police conflicting statements under oath relating to six missing schoolgirls linked to his father in the late eighties. In handing down judgement, Magistrate Peet Johnston said it seemed Van Rooyen could not be trusted with the truth.
