Ex-champ Hewitt convicted of rape in South Africa
Print Edition
BOB Hewitt, a former grand slam doubles champion, was yesterday convicted in a South African court of rape and sexual assault decades after the alleged assaults.
Judge Bert Bam of the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg said he is satisfied that the two women who had accused the veteran player of rape and a third woman who had accused him of sexual assault were telling the truth.
The charges stemmed from events in the 1980s and 1990s, when Hewitt coached the women as young girls. Hewitt, 75, has denied all three charges. Bam ordered that Australian-born Hewitt should be taken into custody. Hewitt won nine grand slam doubles and six grand slam mixed doubles titles in the 1960s and 1970s.
