An Oudtshoorn father has been sentenced to 25 years for raping his daughter for years and impregnating her, a report says.
According to the Cape Times, his daughter, now 19, has kept the child she gave birth to about two years ago.
Police spokesman Malcolm Pojie was quoted as saying that the mother and child were both well.
Pojie said the 45-year-old father had been accused of repeatedly raping his daughter between 2006 and 2009, the Cape Times reported.
He had started raping her when she was about 14 years old.
The Oudtshoorn Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit started investigating the father, who may not be named so as to protect the identity of his daughter, after a criminal case was opened against him in August last year, the report said. - IOL
