A 36-year-old man accused of raping a minor in 2011, was found guilty of rape and threatening in the Swakopmund Magistrate’s Court on Monday and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Immanuel Nowaseb was accused of raping his then 10-year-old victim in the presence of her younger brother on 8 December 2011. Nowaseb, who was 29 at the time, represented himself towards the end of the trial and will serve 15 years for the charge of rape and 15 years for threatening, which Magistrate Gaynor Poulton said will be served concurrently. The conviction comes after a series of postponements since the trial started in 2012. Prosecutor Dalon Quickfall represented the State in the matter.
