A father accused of sexually assaulting his four-year-old twin daughters brings an urgent legal challenge after failing to compel police to finalise their investigation. The Pretoria High Court dismisses his application, ruling that there is no evidence of deliberate or unreasonable delay by investigators.
The court decision focuses on whether the police have taken too long to complete the probe, rather than on whether the allegations are true. The report frames the father’s attempt as part of a wider effort to regain access and prompt action in the case, while the police investigation remains under way or not yet concluded.
While the outlet’s account centres on the court’s finding about delay, it does not indicate additional steps taken in the underlying investigation, any further procedural developments, or the details of the allegations beyond the children’s age and that the accused faces sexual assault accusations. The dismissal means the urgent application does not succeed at this stage, according to the reported outcome.
