The case of a Police Captain who was arrested by IPID on Wednesday, 07 May 2025, for allegedly raping a trainee at the Police Academy in Pretoria has been remanded to 14 May 2025 for a formal bail application.
It is alleged that on Tuesday, 07 May 2025, the 20-year-old trainee was walking with her platoon members to their sleeping quarters when she was called by the Police Captain to his office.
Once in the office, the Police Captain allegedly locked the door and told the trainee that if she does not sleep with him, he will write a misconduct letter regarding an incident that allegedly happened in April, where the Police Captain was accusing the trainee of failing to salute him.
The Police Captain will remain in custody until his next court appearance.
