German national accused of raping children

A German national accused of rape, who faces eight sexually related charges, has been denied bail in the Blue Downs Magistrate’s Court, according to a report on the IoL site. Andreas Wolf is accused of rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation and exposing children to pornography. Magistrate Vincent Ketye told the court last week that Wolf sexually penetrated an 11-year-old boy. Wolf also coaxed the boy to masturbate and perform acts of oral sex, Ketye said. The incidents allegedly occurred at one of Wolf’s residences in Somerset West. State prosecutor Nathan Adriaanse read from an affidavit, saying: ‘Numerous victims have been identified and these incidents occurred over a period of time. The first victim reported the case during 2016 and he was 12 at the time.’ Wolf is considered a flight risk, as he has family in Germany and is expected back in court on 17 August.
