A 17-YEAR-OLD girl was raped by her ex-boyfriend in Butterworth on Sunday, Eastern Cape police say.

Captain Jackson Manatha said the girl, a Grade 10 pupil at a local high school, said she was forced by her former boyfriend to go with him to his house in Yako informal settlement on Saturday evening.

She said he locked her in his room and repeatedly raped her until Sunday morning - and then fled.

Police are still searching for the man. - Sapa
