STATES IN ENGLISH UNDER OATH:

On the night of 2 May 2012 at approximately 10.30 p.m., I was aprehended (sic) at the bottom of Long Street, Cape Town CBD outside the Beares Furniture Store. I had stopped to give a child a lift in my car when I realised that police officers had pulled up in their vehicle next to me.

I told the officers that the reason I stopped was because I was worried for the child’s safety. The boy, who was aged eight or nine, shouldn’t have been out there at that time of night and I had pulled over to offer him a lift.

I deny that I solicited the boy for sex, and when officers found me in the car, I deny that my jeans were undone and that the boy was performing a sexual act on my person.

Sergeant Manjit Kumar pulled me out of the car and gave me a smack across my face, which I insist be recorded here. Then he asked the boy his name. The boy did not answer. One of the other officers, Constable Lucy Pistorius, said to the boy, Are you Kenneth? The boy said yes.

I did not resist arrest.
