A senior manager at Investec is in serious trouble, facing a charge of statutory rape after details emerged of a sexual relationship with his stepdaughter that began when she was 12.

He shouldn’t be hanging onto his job much longer either, the mother of the girl (and the man’s ex-wife) laying a formal complaint with Investec. That complaint stems from the man forwarding her emails that contained pornographic material.

The man is said to be in his sixties, although he cannot be named in order to protect the identity of the girl. IOL with this:

…she is very attached to her stepfather and is not happy that her mother reported the case.

The accused was arrested after the mother allegedly found sexually explicit messages on her laptop between her then husband and daughter.

The case is before the Randburg Magistrate’s Court, but has been postponed in order for a report to be submitted by the police’s Cyber Crimes Unit, which is investigating the case.

The man is out on R10 000 bail.

There’s still the matter of the racy emails though, which may result in further egg on face for all at Investec:

…the mother has also laid complaints at Investec Bank for emails her ex-husband allegedly forwarded her from his work account with porn attached.

The emails were from another senior manager who allegedly sent sexually explicit videos and pictures to at least five other senior bank employees in 2011.

One email, with the subject “Financials”, contained a video titled “Indian style”, with a man and woman having sex. Another email, called “Financial crisis”, had a video titled “boobs in the bathtub”. A third email, called “Scandalicious!”, had pictures of women in various stages of undress.

The mother asked Investec to investigate the circulation of the emails by its employees.

Really, do people still forward garbage like that around the office? I thought that kind of nonsense died out around 2000.

Let’s hear from Investec Group human resources spokesman Marc Kahn:

The mother’s “recent allegations relate to an email forwarded to her in 2011 by her husband, an Investec employee, and were forensically investigated”, Kahn said.

“The audit showed that the original email, which contained inappropriate material, had been sent by one individual to several colleagues, including the husband, in 2011. Based on the findings, the individual concerned would have faced disciplinary action. However, he left the bank in 2014.”

Kahn said their investigation found no evidence that any of the email’s recipients violated the bank’s policies because they did not circulate the material they had received.

“Only (the woman’s) husband forwarded the email, and just to her. Correspondence between spouses is deemed private and not in violation of our policy,” he said.

Sies man, save your porn surfing for when you get home to a clearly unhappy marriage and your spouse goes to bed early.

As for that man and his stepdaughter, there really are no words…
