Prosecutors said they didn’t have enough information to place the matter on the court roll.
The man accused of raping his partner’s two-year-old girl in Reiger Park, Boksburg, has been set free, after prosecutors said they couldn’t place the matter on the court roll at the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
