Phone lover turns into a sex monster
Midnight declarations of love led to a horrifying ordeal.
The Times Live reported that the woman, (36), from Port Shepstone, travelled all the way to Tsakane village in Marite, which is between Bushbuckridge and Hazyview in Mpumalanga., to meet the man to whom she had only spoken on the phone.
Mpumalanga police are investigating. Constable Robert Makhubela, Calcutta police station spokesman, said they need to determine if the complainant was indeed held hostage and raped for five days or not.
According to the report, the woman said her captor first called her a few months ago, telling her that they had met some time back and that he was calling ‘to check if they are okay’.
“After the first call we continued to call each other at around midnight, using free minutes. I eventually fell for him because he sounded like a gentleman. I dated him even though I had never met him or seen his face,” she is quoted as saying.
The woman said she agreed to visit her mystery boyfriend in Tsakane on February 15 this year.
“Just after I got to his place I realised that something was wrong with him. When I told him that I wanted to go back the he became aggressive towards me and told me that am not going anywhere. He repeatedly raped me the whole night and the next day he locked me up at the back room of his parents’ house.”
Realising she didn’t have access to a phone to call for help, she begged the man to take her a clinic to collect her medication, adds the report.
“He agreed and when we got to Tsakane clinic I tried to signal to the security guards that I was in trouble. The security guards didn’t see that I was asking for help but my abductor realised that I was signaling for help. He beat me up… took me to the nearest river…and threatened to feed me to the crocodiles if ever tried to do what I did,” she said.
She added that she managed to escape after waiting for her captor to fall sleep.
Times Live reported that when the alleged captor, whose name is known to African Eye News Service where this story first appeared, was contacted for comment, he pretended to be someone else.
However, he later called the journalist and threatened to kill him if the story was published.
