Houghton woman arrested for possession of child pornography

Houghton woman arrested for possession of child pornography

The South African Police Service (SAPS) on Thursday arrested a 25-year-old woman in Houghton for possession of child pornography and money laundering.

The arrest of the woman, a web designer by profession, follows the takedown of her 35-year-old boyfriend, who was apprehended last week during a joint operation conducted by the national and Gauteng provincial Serial and Electronic Crime Investigations (SECI) Units in Midrand.

An intensive investigation by the SECI Units uncovered evidence linking the woman to criminal activities, including the possession of an estimated 10 million child pornography images and videos. 

These materials were discovered on various electronic devices seized during an operation last Friday.

During the arrest of the boyfriend, the SAPS team found the child pornography images and videos on various electronic devices.

The suspect is set to appear before the Randburg Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Police investigations into the matter are ongoing. – SAnews.gov.za
