Why would they lie that you were not circumcised?&#8221; Judge Dario Dosio asked when he delivered the judgment in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>During the trial it was alleged that 38-year-old Michael Ncube had lured and sexually exploited boys, aged 11 to 16, between 2014 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The court heard that the offences occurred at Ncube&#8217;s home in Munsieville and that he had given some of his victims alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Going through the evidence presented in court, Dosio said Ncube used his minor son as bait to befriend his victims.<\/p>\n<p>He gave them alcohol, raped them and, pretending to be a police officer, threatened to arrest them.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the boys testified that Ncube had a full police uniform, a card, a gun, a mask, a blue light and dockets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He exploited their vulnerability. He used the same modus operandi and accused them of falsely implicating him because they stole his cellphones. One victim couldn&#8217;t read and write correctly,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>His 16-year-old son didn&#8217;t see what transpired because he stayed in an outside room.<\/p>\n<p>The son testified that he never saw his father with female friends and that he suspected that his father molested boys.<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed that Ncube had a full police uniform, police car, marked face mask and gun, Dosio said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He provided the boys who visited their home with everything they needed. A neighbour also testified that [he thought] Ncube was a cop in Krugersdorp. He had a gun and blue police light in his car, claiming he was employed to help boys abusing drugs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The neighbour added that he hadn&#8217;t seen Ncube with a woman in the five years he had known him and that he had seen many boys at his house.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Another victim testified that Ncube was not circumcised. He saw his penis when he was raped. Others corroborated him,&#8221; Dosio said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dosio, one of the victims was vulnerable and became less powerful when he moved into Ncube&#8217;s house, allowing him to exploit him sexually. He said the boy later confided in his mother and said that Ncube had raped him.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ncube later claimed that police had influenced the victims to lay charges against him.<\/p>\n<p>Dosio said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The court finds the version of the accused is improbable and untrue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dosio found that the victims&#8217; testimony was honest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One victim gave Ncube his trust. Sexual exploitation was easily carried out by the accused. The boy broke away from the sexual exploitation by informing his mother.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The court was satisfied the State had proven Ncube&#8217;s guilt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ncube didn&#8217;t impress the court as to why a victim would fabricate his evidence to implicate him. Boys are reluctant to report rape. One complained the rape was traumatic. He was a vulnerable child from somewhere where his basic needs were never met. He didn&#8217;t have parents and lived with his sister,&#8221; Dosio added.<\/p>\n<p>The case continues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
