2 Pretoria men set to appear in court on Tuesday on child pornography charges

JOHANNESBURG - Two Pretoria men will appear in court on Tuesday on charges of child pornography following an investigation by the FBI and the South African police.

According to reports, law enforcement acted on a tip from an international tip line, which led them to an address in Vanderbijlpark, where they arrested a 49-year-old man for allegedly sexually abusing his girlfriend's 15-year-old daughter.

In another arrest, a 41-year-old former school principal was taken into custody on charges of exposing children to child pornography as well as the sexual abuse of young boys.

Police spokesperson, Amanda van Wyk: "This week, through joint operations with the FBI and the department of homeland security, led to the arrest of two suspects for sexual grooming, possession, downloading, manufacturing and distribution of child pornography in different parts of Gauteng. In both matters, the teams seized various electronic devices suspected of containing sexual child abuse images and videos."
