Bloemfontein – A Free State man was jailed for 18 years by the Vierfontein Regional Court on Wednesday for raping a teenager, police said.

Moepeng David Mahloko, 36, was arrested in 2012 for raping a 14-year-old girl in Vierfontein, said Captain Stephen Thakeng.

“He invited the girl to his house and raped her,” he said. The girl reported the matter to the police the same day.
