Ditebogo Frans Gololo, a 28-year-old man, has been arrested and charged with statutory rape and sexual grooming of a minor. The alleged victim, a 13-year-old girl from Seshego township, claims that Gololo impregnated her after they met at a shopping complex in January 2024 and began a romantic relationship in May 2024.
The victim only revealed the incident to her aunt after experiencing complications, and medical tests confirmed she was eight months pregnant in November 2024. She gave birth to a baby boy on Christmas Day, 25 December 2024.
Gololo was swiftly arrested by the Seshego Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit on 26 December 2024. His case has been postponed to 8 January 2025, for a bail application and further investigations at the Seshego Magistrate’s Court. Gololo is currently being held in custody.
