A Delft police officer has been arrested after being on the run for allegedly raping his brother’s girlfriend at a party on Sunday.
Police watchdog Ipid arrested the officer in Delft on Monday following the incident.
Ipid spokesperson Ndileka Cola said the woman was visiting her boyfriend at his home, where a party was being held.
“The victim stated that she was drinking alcohol. At some point she stopped drinking, decided to sleep and went to her boyfriend’s room, which is downstairs.
