Pretoria – A father who raped his 15-year-old daughter and even impregnated her was, on appeal, given a lifeline by the Pretoria High Court which reduced his life sentence to 15 years’ imprisonment, as the court felt he stood a chance of being rehabilitated.

Judges A Van Niekerk and J Kruger felt that the 40-year-old father would be denied the prospect of being rehabilitated if he had to serve a life term. The judges also considered case law in similar circumstances when they reduced his sentence.
