Chinese nabbed for attempted rape
A Chinese construction worker briefly appeared in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court yesterday on charges of attempting to rape a woman in Bahnhof Street, Windhoek.
The state is alleging that the 53-year-old Chunglei Gao made sexual advances to the complainant against her will on Sunday by touching her breasts and genitals.
The construction worker, who spoke through an interpreter in the proceedings, emphatically denied the allegation.
Though the court explained to him the option of where he can obtain a private lawyer or state-funded lawyer, Gao chose to defend himself.
The court, on the recommendation of the control Sate prosecutor Hans Tourob, granted Gao N$10 000 bail on condition that he will not leave the district of Windhoek without the permission of the investigating officer in the case.
He was also ordered to hand in his passport and other travelling documents to the investigating officer and must report twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays, at the Windhoek Central Police Station.
Magistrate Jo-Rina Jagger postponed the matter to 6 June for further investigations. Gao was remanded in custody pending the payment of his bail.
