The sentencing of the former owner of the now defunct Shadows Pub and Grill, Johannes ’Hansie’ Galloway, who was found guilty of two charges of sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl, has been postponed until Friday for ’possible sentencing’.
THE SENTENCING of the former owner of the now defunct Shadows Pub and Grill, Johannes “Hansie” Galloway, who was found guilty on two charges of sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl during 2014 and 2015, has been postponed until Friday for “possible sentencing”.
Sentencing was scheduled to be delivered on Thursday.
Kimberley magistrate Quavashni Nulliah found Galloway guilty in the sexual offences court last week, after Galloway had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The incidents took place in Douglas, where Galloway violated the child by touching her private parts without her consent and made her touch his genitals.
The court also found him guilty of threatening her not to tell anyone, where she was offered R10 and a lollipop in exchange for her silence during the first incident that occurred in October 2014.
The complainant was living with Galloway at the time of the incident as her mother was in a relationship with him.
Relating to the second incident, Galloway was found guilty of urinating on the child’s hand, rubbing her private parts and making her touch his genitals.
