# Action Society has confirmed that the trial of the alleged Paarl photographer rapist begins on Monday at the Paarl Regional Court, three years after Leighché Thomas was drugged and raped. Action Society spokesperson, Juanita du Preez, says the 19-year-old, hoping to build a modelling career, was lured by the well-known photographer under the false promise of a portfolio-building photoshoot. Du Preez says the accused is out on bail:
