More charges for alleged sex predator Willem Breytenbach
Alleged sex offender and former Media24 executive Willem Breytenbach will face four more charges of sexual assault.
Breytenbach appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Tuesday where it was revealed that the tally of charges brought against him had grown to seven - one for one of indecent assault and six for sexual assault.
The oldest of the reported cases dates back to 1997.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Western Cape Eric Ntabazalila says the matter was postponed to allow for more witness statements.
"There were detailed three charges of sexual assault in his previous appearance and today there were four more charges that were added," says Ntabazalila.
Breytenbach will appear in court on March 30 when more charges could be added.
"There is a possibility that more charges will be added," says Ntabazalila.
Breytenbach was granted bail of R50 000 last year.
