Johannesburg - A man alleged to have raped a five-year-old girl in the Johannesburg CBD has been arrested, police said on Tuesday.
He was arrested on Monday evening following a rape that allegedly took place on Saturday, said Warrant Officer Xoli Mbele.
The mother took her child to a doctor on Sunday after she complained of something coming out of her private parts.
“The doctor confirmed that the child had been sexually assaulted,” said Mbele.
The child told her mother what had happened and police were called in, leading to the man's arrest.
He was expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court soon.
