A Bonteheuwel mother has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for selling naked pictures of her four-year-old daughter on the dark web.
PICTURE: PixabayThe woman, who will not been named to protect her children,
was arrested in March 2021.
The investigation was led by an agent from Homeland
Security, who pretended to be a buyer, and traced her to Bonteheuwel after she
allegedly received payments via PayPal.
The case was postponed on numerous occasions.
Bonteheuwel ward councillor Angus McKenzie, who was
following the case, said the woman was found guilty on 70 counts ranging from
rape to sexual assault, using children for pornographic purposes and distribution
of child porn, amongst others
Previously, the National Prosecuting Authority said she is
facing charges of manufacturing child pornography, possession of child
pornography, distribution of child pornography and financial gain from child
pornography and rape.
McKenzie sent out a stern warning to individuals wanting to
pursue in the same direction.
‘’This long-winded trial, which I tracked appearances after
appearance, has now ended, and the rebuilding of the children's lives can
start. I promised we would see justice in the case, and we have that justice.’’
‘’Let this be a lesson to other deranged individuals. You
will be caught, and I will not rest until justice is served,’’ he added.
