NGCOBO J “against their own weaknesses or against any temptation into which the urgency of their own affairs may lead them; and if they should become the victims of circumstance and inclination, that does not place them in the category of complainants who have suffered injury and who should not be be [sic] deterred from disclosure by any apprehension of being implicated in an offence.” In the circumstances a provision that made it an offence to receive a bribe, did “not exclude the person performing the supplementary act to the prohibited acceptance of 10 a reward from criminal liability as an accessory”. [13] The Sexual Offences Act was therefore enacted in the context of a system of law in which all who participate in a prohibited act are guilty of having participated in that act and liable to the same punishment as the principal offender. The Sexual Offences Act forms part of that system of law. So does section 20(1)(aA). [14] Thus, a man who pays for sex and the woman who receives the payment are equally guilty of criminal conduct and liable to the same penalties. Both at common law and in terms of the Riotous Assemblies Act the customer commits an offence, and in terms of the Riotous Assemblies Act the customer is liable to the same punishment to which the prostitute is liable. 10 S v Kellner above n 7 at 447G. 8
