Johannesburg - A five-year-old Soweto boy is recovering on Tuesday after being raped, allegedly by a man who also forced him to perform oral sex, Jabulani police said.
The child was shown pornographic videos by the man and then allegedly forced to perform oral sex on him, said spokesperson Inspector Kay Makhubele. He then allegedly sodomised the boy.
The man was arrested and would appear in the Protea Magistrate's Court soon.
The boy's rape was one of four sexual offence cases Jabulani police were investigating since Sunday.
Two women, aged 22 and 21 and a 17-year-old girl also reported that they were raped. All were attacked while walking home and dragged away to be raped, said Makhubele.
All three people implicated in those rapes were arrested.
