KwaZulu Natal National Prosecuting Authority Spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara says the woman’s name will be added to the National Register for Sex Offenders.
“The National Prosecuting Authority welcomes the sentence of life and five years’ imprisonment handed down to a 28-year-old woman after she pleaded guilty to raping and displaying pornographic material to her younger brother. In addition to the sentence, the woman was declared unfit to possess a firearm, and the court ordered that her name be entered into the National Register for Sex Offenders. The fight against sexual violence, particularly against children, remains a top priority. The expansion of Thuthuzela Care Centres across the continues to play a vital role in providing comprehensive support to victims of sexual offences.”
