A 39-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in connection with the alleged rape of a 17-year-old boy on two separate occasions this year.
Oshana Crime Investigation Coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Fredrick Ndjadila, said the suspect faces charges under the Combating of Rape Act, Act 8 of 2000.
According to Ndjadila, the incidents occurred during January 2025 and again on 1 June 2025, at Ehafo Lya Nelundu village in the Uukwiyu Uushona Constituency.
“The middle-aged man is alleged to have first approached the victim in January 2025, asking him to walk with him to his house. While on the way, the suspect allegedly began to touch the victim’s back before grabbing him and pulling him down,” he said.
Ndjadila said it is further alleged that the middle-aged man undressed the boy and molested him.
He added that the middle-aged then reportedly offered the victim N$200.
Further, Ndjadila indicated that the middle-aged man again requested the boy to accompany him to his house, where he allegedly raped him.
The matter was reported by a 59-year-old male from Iikokola Village.
