A 37 year old artist (afrikaans singer) was arrested for allegedly raping a 24 year old woman (from mosselbay) at the Klein Karoo Nationale Kunstefees in Oudtshoorn this past weekend (Sunday). Southern Cape Police Spokesperson Malcolm Pojie said the incident happened at around 04:10 on Sunday morning in the Tente Dorp camping site of the Afrikaans art festival.
"He was offered a place to stay for the night and allegedly raped her on Sunday morning," Pojie said
At this stage Pojie did not want to reveal the 37 year old artist name.
Pojie said the victim was treated at hospital after laying the charge against the 37 year old artist at the Oudtshoorn police.
"He gave himself over at the police station with his legal representative." said Pojie
The artist's manager said her client was not in Oudtshoorn. "I also heard of it. All I can say is nothing is true. He is innocent; I know him very well, in fact I'm his ex-girlfriend."
The 37 year old artist was expected to appear on a charge of rape in the Oudtshoorn Magistrate Court on 8 April 2010
