“The state has discharged its onus to prove rape, defeating the ends of justice and possession of drugs. On assault you are not found guilty,” he said.

Dros rapist Nicholas Ninow has been indicted in the High Court in Pretoria. Ninow was found guilty raping a seven-year-old girl in the bathroom of a family restaurant in Pretoria.

Ninow was also found guilty of possession of drugs and defeating the ends of justice but he was acquitted of assault.

He had pleaded guilty at the beginning of his trial to raping a seven-year-old girl in the bathroom of a Dros restaurant in September last year in Silverton.

Yet, the State proceeded with the preliminary to challenge Ninow’s variant of occasions, contending that the rape was planned. The State called eight observers a week ago, including the young lady and her mom, just as previous Dros representatives.

Judge Papi Mosopa conveyed his decision on Monday morning.

“The state has discharged its onus to prove rape, defeating the ends of justice and possession of drugs. On assault you are not found guilty,” he said.

Ninow said the child had found him in the women’s bathroom while he was taking drugs.

But the state rejected this and called the child to rebut the claim.

She told the court that Ninow had found her in the bathroom cubicle. Her mother, who also testified in camera, told the court she had found Ninow naked.

Ninow had also wiped his penis with the child’s underwear, the court heard.

The case was postponed to October 16 and 17 for sentencing.

Ninow’s former fiancée said he won’t be in his son’s life. “I get so sad whenever I see him. That’s when I realise Charl is going to grow up without knowing his father. He does have a lot of people that love him and that are there for him, but there will always be the void of a missing father,” she said.
