SANDF officer arrested for sexual misconduct
A South African National Defence Force (SANDF) Captain is expected to appear in court today, for allegedly sexually harassing a patient at the 68 Air School Sickbay in Lyttleton.
The officer was arrested on Sunday.
According to the SANDF, the suspect was relocated from 68 Air School Sickbay to the Area Military Health Unit in Gezina, to allow for the investigations to proceed without interference or his influence.
SANDF spokesperson, Colonel Ronald Maseko says the Captain also faces a charge of bribery.
"Whilst the investigations were on-going, he allegedly tried to bribe the investigating officer to have his case not prosecuted in court," says Maseko.
