Multiple acts of sexual penetration within a short period of time - single or multiple acts of rape? S v Willemse 2011 (2) SACR 531 (ECG)

Abstract

The case under discussion exposes a particular twilight zone in respect of the sexual offence of rape, and more specifically, the question as to when multiple acts of sexual penetration perpetrated by the same perpetrator within a relatively short time span, will constitute multiple acts of rape.
