Earlier, Briefly.co.za reported that Gauteng police have confirmed that official charges have been laid against Euphonik and DJ Fresh for allegedly drugging and raping a young woman back in 2011.
Earlier this week, a woman took to Twitter claiming that the two DJs took advantage of her while she was drunk. She claimed that they had drugged her and raped her.
Police authorities have confirmed to TshisaLive that formal cases of rape have been lodged against the two of them.
The woman requested that her identity remains hidden and revealed that the ordeal happened while she was at a party in 2011. At the time, she was a student at the University of Pretoria.
In other news, DJ Fresh has finally spoken out about the recent sexual abuse allegations levelled against him.
The muso has been trending on social media for the last three days after a social media user (@Nampree) accused him of sexually assaulting her and three other women.
Fresh did not respond to the tweep on social media but instead broke his silence to the media. Speaking to IOL, DJ Fresh denied the claims. He said that he was hurt that he was in the same position of refuting allegations again.
He told the publication that he does not know any of the women accusing him. The DJ said that this was likely the price he was paying for being in the public eye.
