A woman arrested in connection with an alleged child pornography distribution ring will have her case postponed until next week. She is facing charges of possession of child pornography and money laundering. The postponement comes days after the arrest of her boyfriend, Darren Wilken, who was allegedly found in possession of 10 million child pornography images and videos at his house in Midrand.
Police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda van Wyk, said that during the operation, a number of electronic devices suspected of containing child pornography material were confiscated. 'A forensic analysis of these devices, conducted on scene by cyber crime experts, has detected an estimated number of 10 million child pornography images and videos thus far,' she said. The arrest stems from information shared by international law enforcement with the South African Police Service (SAPS) after they identified a target located in South Africa.Police say in the last two years, 21 suspects have been arrested on charges related to child pornography. 'In December 2024, a 41-year-old former school principal in Pretoria and a 49-year-old suspect in Vanderbijlpark were apprehended during similar operations,' van Wyk said. The woman is expected to apply for bail at her next court appearance
