Albert Justice Morake, a 35-year-old serial rapist has been
convicted and jailed for 1,535 years including 30 life terms by
a South African court for raping 29 women over a period of
five years.
Morake, popularly known as 'Morake of Ivory Park, Midrand'
began his kidnapping and rape spree in 2007 by targeting
couples either in the street or in their cars.
He was sentenced by the Johannesburg High Court on Friday
to 1,535 years of imprisonment including 30 life terms for 30
counts of rape, 360 years for robbery and several hundred
more for crimes including attempted murder, kidnapping and
robbery. The sentences will run concurrently.
According to Times Live, Morake had pleaded not guilty to
175 charges, including 30 of rape, 41 of kidnapping and 24 of
robbery among others. However, he was found guilty on 144
counts.
Judge Rean Strydom said Morake had not shown remorse and
had persisted in denying his involvement in the crimes.
"He had been arrogant in that he provided his victims with
advice on how to protect themselves from rape in the future,"
the judge said.
"He had acted with premeditation. He came prepared [to
commit the crimes] and was always in control," said Strydom.
Most of Morake's traumatized victims who were present in
court to testify against him, were jubilant when he was
sentenced for 1,535 years.
