Date for trial to be set for former Kingfisher FM presenter

THE case against a former Kingfisher FM presenter – accused of stalking a woman online with threats to rape her – was referred to the trial court yesterday. The man, 36, who cannot be named until he pleads to the charges, appeared briefly in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Magistrate Lise Keech postponed the case to March 2 for a trial date to be set in the regional court.

The man was arrested at his former workplace in August after an NMMU student, 22, accused him of intentionally inspiring the belief in her – via several phone calls between July 26 and August 24 – that she would be sexually violated. He is out on bail.
