Windhoek City Police spokesperson Fabian Amukwelele claimed yesterday in his bail application in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court in Katutura that if the complainant had not fallen pregnant, there would be no rape case against him.
Amukwelele was arrested on 8 April after he was accused of raping a 29-year-old City Police colleague in January.
The 37-year-old Amukwelele pleaded not guilty to the charge of rape, saying the sex was consensual.
The rape charge stems from an incident that occurred on 11 January this year at Amukwelele's Rocky Crest home.
Accused's version
Amukwelele said in his testimony that had there not been a pregnancy there would not have been a case, state prosecutor Rowan van Wyk told Namibian Sun.
