Unashamed 32-year-old bachelor admits to being in love with girl aged 12 after he impregnated her
A man accused of impregnating a 12-year-old girl is expected to plead in court soon.
The 32-year-old man from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, was arrested last year after the girl’s mother reported the incident to the police.
The case has shocked the community and raised concerns about child abuse and sexual exploitation.
According to reports, the girl was allegedly raped by the man multiple times over a period of several months.
The man whose identity was not revealed to protect the identity of the victim claimed the s@$ was consensual since they were in a relationship.
She eventually became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy.
The man has been charged with rape, statutory rape, and sexual assault.
He has been in custody since his arrest and is expected to appear in court soon to enter a plea.
Child abuse and sexual exploitation are serious crimes that have devastating effects on victims and their families.
According to the World Health Organization, one in four girls and one in six boys experience sexual abuse before the age of 18.
