A 38-year-old woman from Margate in KZN faces charges of human trafficking and other charges related to sexual exploitation of children after she was arrested recently.

It is said that the woman allegedly ran a brothel at a guesthouse in Boksburg.

The case involves sexual exploitation of two minor girls, one aged between 13 and 14, and the other was younger at the time of the offences.

The offences took place between 2022 and this year.

She first appeared in court last Wednesday, where the case was postponed and she was remanded in custody.

The woman faces charges of trafficking in persons, rape, conspiracy to commit a sexual offence, aiding and abetting, sexual grooming, sexual exploitation of children, keeping a brothel, living on earnings of prostitution and compelling or causing children to witness sexual acts.

She is expected to return to the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court next week Wednesday.
