Gregony Deck was released on parole on July 28, 2025, after a rape conviction.

A Free State man wanted on charges of trafficking in persons and rape was arrested at the weekend and is expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

Gregony Deck, 35, was being sought by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (known as Hawks).

The provincial spokesperson for the Hawks, Warrant Officer Fikiswa Matoti, said Deck was wanted in connection with allegations of trafficking in persons, kidnapping, and rape committed in Bloemfontein between August 1 and 4, 2026.

At the time, Deck fled before he could be apprehended.
