A Cape Town woman who was raped in front of her young son says she is shocked at the “lenient” sentence handed down to her assailant.

The Fish Hoek woman, whose identity is being protected, said she was “absolutely disgusted” that serial sex offender Jan Johannes Schietekat had been ordered to serve 15 years in prison.

The 62-year-old was convicted in July last year of sexually assaulting and raping the woman – in full view of her two-year-old autistic son – on the Bloubergstrand beachfront nearly four years ago.

“I’m totally freaking out. It’s absolutely disgusting,” the woman, now 30, told the Cape Argus.
