A Pretoria stepfather has been handed two life sentences for raping and assaulting his stepdaughter for a period of four years, with the first incident happening when the child was just six years old.
Okkie Oostehuizen, 46, was found guilty of raping, assaulting, and s.e.xually assaulting the child over a period of four years.
He was engaged and living with the mother of the child in Sinoville but would go to the child’s room at night while the mother was asleep or was not home, to rape and assault the girl, said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana.
“When the child was 11 years old, she told her aunt who reported the matter to the police. The child was then placed in the care of the aunt for her safety,” Mahanjana said.
Ooshuizen was convicted of rape, three counts of sexual assault and two counts of assaulting a minor. He was handed a double life sentence, 12 years, and additional one-year imprisonment respectively for the offenses.
“Public prosecutor Hanlie du Preez welcomed the sentence and said the protection of victims is of the utmost importance and the sentence sends a clear message to s.e.xual offenders,” said Mahanjana.
