A 45-year-old man was arrested in Carletonville in the West Rand for allegedly raping a nine-year-old girl and indecently assaulting her eight-year-old sister for over two months, police said on Tuesday. Captain Paula Nothnagel said the girls and their parents had been boarding at the man’s home in the Blyvooruitsigt suburb, where the alleged assaults took place. She said the girls told their mother about the incidents after she confronted them about regular visits to the man’s room. The girls told their mother the man bought them chocolates to keep quiet. He will appear in court on Tuesday. – Sapa
