Soccer Boss Jordaan Denies Rape Allegations
Soccer Boss Jordaan Denies Rape Allegations! Ferguson‚ who now lives in Sweden‚ claims recently that Jordaan raped her more than 20 years ago. Other allegations of rape have since been made against Jordaan.
Danni Jordaan has finally broken his silence on the rape allegations via a statement released by his lawyer‚ Mamodupi Mulaudzi‚ on Wednesday. Jordaan said he had kept quiet on the matter because of his ’empathy’ with the victims of gender-based violence.
“Dr Jordaan has‚ however‚ after careful consideration decided to assert his innocence. Whilst Dr Jordaan supports public debate as an essential tool to highlight the issue of gender-based violence‚ however‚ in this case there are two opposing versions that cannot be resolved in the media‚ or elsewhere‚ in substitution for a court of law,” the statement read.
Jordaan lawyers said they have advised him to not speak publicly about the allegations.
“From a legal viewpoint‚ serious allegations of the kind made by Miss Ferguson can only be ventilated in a court of law‚ where the rights of all parties are protected,” Mulauzi said.
