Fraud suspect J Arthur Brown was allegedly raped in the back of a police van last week, the Sunday Times reported.
Brown's attorney, William Booth, said the former Fidentia boss -- accused of theft and fraud involving hundreds of millions of rands -- suffered an "extremely humiliating" sexual assault in a jam-packed prison van taking him from the Cape Town Magistrate's Court to Pollsmoor on Monday.
He said Brown is now under police guard in a private Cape Town hospital that has special expertise in treating Aids patients.
"He's been seen by a psychiatrist, he's had a couple of procedures and he's on antiretrovirals. His mental state is not good."
