CAPE TOWN – Despite more allegations emerging against him, the family of the Paarl warrant officer accused of repeatedly raping a teenage girl said on Tuesday they remain convinced he is innocent.  It’s alleged he raped the 14-year-old girl at her home in Paarl East several times earlier this year.  The policeman’s bail application was postponed in the Paarl Magistrate Court on Tuesday for further investigation after it emerged there may be another four victims.  Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) officials believe the officer may be linked to similar cases involving minors. The policeman’s brother, who asked not to be named, said he doesn’t believe any of the accusations. “I am very disappointed in this case. It seems as though the investigator in this case is unprofessional. But we are positive that he will get bail.” IPID’s Lusanda Booi told the court evidence was found at the scene, but officials still needed to verify it. (Edited by Tamsin Wort)
