A man who often pulled a child into his house from playing with her friends has been found guilty of raping her over a period of four months.The court had previously heard that Albert Hans, 44, of CC Lloyd, would pull the child from the street while she was playing with friends.
He would pick her up and carry her in his arms like a baby into his house. She cannot be named to protect her identity as a victim of sexual violence.
Medical evidence before court was that the child had been penetrated and had developed genital warts.
Hans had pleaded not guilty and yesterday still denied raping the child.
“On various occasion called the complainant to his home.
“When she refused, he grabbed her and took her to his house where he raped her.
“After he had finished he threatened to kill her if she told anybody,” part of the indictment reads.
In court, he denied raping her, saying the case was a result of a conspiracy between his stepsister and the complainant’s mother. He said his sister was bitter that he had inherited a house and car.
In his version, Hans did not deny that the child was found in his house.
He said he had just come home from gym and he had his doors open as he boiled water on the kettle to get ready to bath.
He said he did not see the child enter his house and was shocked when he saw her coming out of his room when her mother called out her name from the door.
East London High Court Judge Judith Roberson said Hans’ version was not reasonably possibly true and that there was no reason to doubt the complainants’ version.
She found him guilty and the matter was postponed to April 20 for sentencing.
