Barberton couple in court for child pornography
They appeared on charges of possessing, manufacturing, and distributing child pornography, as well as grooming for sexual purposes
MBOMBELA – A couple from Barberton accused of child pornography appeared in court today. The couple were caught with an alleged explicit pornographic video of their own seven-year-old daughter on a cellphone.
The father was in the process of selling the cellphone when a vigilant shop assistant noticed a video of a woman and a little girl apparently performing a strip dance and making explicit gestures.
They were arrested at Cash Converters in Mbombela in August 2013. The girl was moved to a place of safety.
The father (41) and mother (37), cannot be named to protect the identity of their minor daughter, appeared in the regional court on charges of possessing, manufacturing, and distributing child pornography, as well as grooming for sexual purposes.
Magistrate Ms Vanessa Joubert postponed the matter for continuation until April 24.
