KZN National Prosecution Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara says his wife caught him alone with the girl at their home in Weenen.
"The man was in a state of undress and rushed to get dressed when he saw her. The man was immediately arrested; however, he denied the allegations against him.
"The National Prosecuting Authority welcomes this sentence. We hope sentences of this nature will have the necessary deterrent effective on like-minded people."
