A statement read by the investigating officer revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informed the police about group chats where explicit child pornography had been shared.
These group chats were used to discuss fantasies and share images between the couple and with others.
After being arrested, the wife was granted bail on 2 September and the husband on 14 November.
The couple appeared in court again in December but the case was postponed to February because their lawyer could not attend the proceedings.
However, on Thursday, 27 February, the couple asked for another postponement as their legal representation has withdrawn because of payment problems.
The couple told the court that they intended to apply for legal aid.
The case was postponed to later in March in order for the couple to apply for legal aid and brief their legal representative on the case.
