It is said that the three of them eventually fell asleep. Reportedly, the victim woke up and found the suspect on top of her and consequently she was raped.

The accused was traced and arrested on Monday, the 4th of March, 2019. And finally, after two years and 5 months, the suspect was convicted and of rape and sentenced accordingly. Grootboom is sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment by the Somerset-East Regional Court in the Eastern Cape.
