A Northern Cape paedophile has been sentenced to 20-years in prison on 33 counts of sexual offences that involve children aged between 7 and 12.
The Springbok Regional Court convicted the 45-year-old woman on crimes that include compelled rape, sexual exploitation and sexual grooming.
Provincial Police Spokesperson Ivan Magerman says the crimes happened between January 2022 and November 2023.
Magerman says, “The court heard how the accused, a well-known inhabitant in Vioolsdrift held bible study lessons and attended church gatherings, abused her position of trust.”
“She lured children with money; sweets and outings then manipulated them into sexual acts, subjected them to inappropriate sexual actions and groomed them for exploitation.”
He adds, “She confessed and pleaded guilty to multiple charges, and acknowledged that her conduct was unlawful and punishable by law.”
