Child Protection Force Case No. 17

Court – Magistrates Court

Facts:

• This is one of the 3 cases that 15 year old D is a victim of.

His other cases are Child Protection Force Case No.s 19

(physical abuse) & 16 (Care & Protection)

• In this case his step father (also the accused of the physical

abuse case), is an aggressive man and always subjects the

family to domestic violence.

• The mother fled the house with the younger two kids and

dropped D at his teachers house to keep him safe.

• The teacher had to go out of town and called the house to

check if the mother was at home. The accused man told her

that the mother of D was at home and to drop D off.

• The teacher (who had no knowledge about the domestic

violence) dropped D at the house with the step-father.

• He took D to Pizza hut for dinner and bought back a bottle

of Coca-Cola and unknown to D mixed alcohol in the Coca

Cola and tried to make D Drink it. He didn’t.

• The accused then inserted a water hose into the anal

passage of D, apparently in order to clean the anal passage

before he would commit anal sex.

• He then committed anal sex on D until D fell unconscious

and didn’t know what happened to him until morning.

• The next day he went on a school trip. The teacher identified

that D was extremely quiet and uncomfortable and

discussed with the mother who came to pick D up.

• When D’s mother asked him he told her everything that had

happened.

• She immediately informed the Police and the case was filed

in Magistrates Courts.

• This incident happened in February 2018 and the case is still

at initial stages – awaiting advice from the Attorney-Generals

Department.

• The other cases – Child Protection Force Case No. 19, and

Child Protection Force Case No. 16 – is at trial stages.

• D’s mother is now a single mother. His biological father died

and his step father who is also the accused in these cases is

in jail finally after the hard work of the police and the team at

Child Protection Force.

• He lives in a rented tiny home with his mother and his two

half brothers.

• D’s mother is a hard working woman but finds it extremely

difficult to manage with her meager income.
