Suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya denies allegations that he groomed a 16-year-old girl for sexual purposes. At a court appearance in Randburg Magistrates Court, the matter hears testimony that the teenager told her father she had a crush on Sibiya.
The case focuses on whether Sibiya’s conduct toward the minor constitutes grooming. Prosecutors describe a pattern consistent with grooming allegations, while Sibiya’s defence disputes that characterisation, pointing instead to the girl’s reported feelings. The proceedings continue as the court assesses the competing versions of events presented in testimony.
