The case of a Bonteheuwel mother arrested by the FBI and Homeland Security after allegedly selling naked pictures of her 4-year-old daughter on the dark web in March 2021, was postponed yet again at the Parow Regional Court on Wednesday.
The matter was postponed to 18 May 2022, due to load
shedding.
The accused is facing charges of manufacturing child
pornography, possession of child pornography, distribution of child pornography
and financial gain from child pornography and rape.
The woman’s five children have been placed in the care of
family members.
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.
Ward councillor Angus McKenzie, who has been assisting the
victims and their family, said they were disappointed at yet another delay in
the case.
‘’Not only is the darkness the poor victim has had to
endure painfully problematic but that the mother has yet to be charged and now
due to darkness caused by loadshedding that pain will continue for all those
seeking justice.’’
