EASTERN CAPE TEACHER ALLEGEDLY SEXUALLY ABUSED YOUNG BOYS

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said the teacher is charged with 15 counts of sexual assault and nine counts of exposing children to pornography.

The accused allegedly committed the offences between November 2021 and October 2022. First, he started touching the boys’ private parts and thighs in class and later he would invite them home.

“He would then invite his alleged victims, aged between 13 and 17, to his rented apartment under the guise of assisting them with homework or assisting him to rearrange his furniture,” said Eastern Cape NPA spokesperson, Luxolo Tyali.

The teacher allegedly made the boys watch pornography on his laptop before telling them to masturbate. The State alleges that he forced some of the victims to watch the others fondling themselves.

“The married teacher is alleged to have collected the semen from his victims and taken it to a place unknown to the state,” said the NPA.

The teacher is expected to apply for bail at his next appearance on 4 November. The NPA intends to oppose his application and expects to add more charges to the sheet.

State Advocate Nkululeko Mzinyathi will be prosecuting the matter. As previously reported, the accused has been suspended by the provincial education department.
