Johannesburg – Welkom police are looking for a 14-year-old girl who was raped in K9 Section in Kutloanong, Free State police said on Friday.

Police spokesperson Stephen Thakeng said the teenager went to a Tavern in Odendaalsrus with an unknown woman on Sunday and was raped in the same vicinity.

"The Tavern was about to close for business when the two went outside the premises. The girl was then left alone and she was forced to the bush by an unknown man where he raped her," said Thakeng.
