Uganda Cranes Head Coach coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has been found guilty of sexual assault by the New Law Court in Gqeberha.
The Serbian tactician was accused of sexually assaulting a 39-year-old woman during the 2020 COSAFA Cup tournament which was held in the Eastern Cape at the time,he (Sredojevic) was the head coach of the Zambian senior national team – and this was a year after he had left Orlando Pirates for Zamalek.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the sexual assault happened at Wolfson Stadium when the woman delivered coffee to Sredojevic and his colleagues.
Upon delivering coffee, the victim allegedly asked Sredojevic if he wanted sugar in his coffee but the Serbian tactician said no, before allegedly saying he wanted ‘another type of sugar’ while pointing at the woman’s private parts.
The said woman then laid a complaint to her boss who, in turn, reprimanded Sredojevic and warned him not to do it again.However, Sredojevic allegedly went further later that day, touching the same woman inappropriately – and that’s when the case of sexual assault was opened against the now Uganda head coach.
The former Orlando pirates and Zamalek head coach was arrested before being released on a R10 000 bail and had been in and out of the court since then, and on Tuesday, he was found guilty and subsequently slapped with a suspended five-year sentence.
“Earlier this morning, the Port Elizabeth Regional Court found former Zambian national football team coach, Milutin Sredojević (51) guilty of two counts of sexual assault.
Part of the statement issued by NPA confirming Micho’s conviction
“For count one, he was sentenced to three years imprisonment which was wholly suspended for five years on condition that he does not again contravene section 5(2) of the Sexual offenses Act. This section entails sexual assault in the form of inspiring a belief unto the complainant that he or she will immediately be sexually assaulted.
“For count two, Sredojević was also sentenced to three years imprisonment which was wholly suspended for five years on condition that he does not again contravene section 5(1) of the Sexual offenses Act. This section entails sexual assault in the form of touching a complainant. He brought an application for leave to appeal against the conviction. The court granted his application,”
This means that the Uganda Cranes Head Coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic should NOT be found guilty of the similar offence in the next five years – and should this be the case, he will be arrested with immediate effect
