A policewoman was found not guilty of encouraging her daughter to falsely accuse her father of defiling her, with a magistrate concluding that she had only done her duty as a mother and police officer by taking her daughter’s allegations seriously.
The man had been acquitted of defiling his daughter, who had claimed that he had shown her pornographic movies on his phone. The magistrate acquitting him had reached the conclusion that the girl was repeating a false story that was told to her, prompting the man to report her mother to the police.
