Ex-Deputy President Accused in Rape Trial
From Times Wire Reports
A woman who accused former South African Deputy President Jacob Zuma of rape testified that the man she had known since she was 5 forced himself on her when she was at his home.
Zuma pleaded not guilty and, in a statement read by his attorney, said his accuser spent the night willingly at his home in November and the two had had consensual sex for some time. At no time, he said, did she say she was having sex against her will.
