Dros rape trial proceeds despite Nicholas Ninow pleading guilty
9 September 2019
Despite pleading guilty to the rape of a seven-year-old girl in a Dros restaurant in Pretoria in September 2018, Nicholas Ninow still went on trial as the State disputed his version of events in his plea explanation.
Ninow pleaded guilty to two counts of rape , possession of an illegal substance and defeating the ends of justice in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Monday.
Ninow pleaded not guilty to an assault charge and the State withdrew a kidnapping charge.
In his plea explanation, read out by his legal aid attorney Herman Alberts, Ninow said he had gone to the women’s bathroom to do the drug CAT, hoping that he would not get caught.
