PLETTENBERG BAY - BAIL CONDITIONS CHANGED FOR MAN IMPLICATED IN CHILD PORN RING

The bail conditions for a Plettenberg Bay man who has been implicated in an international child porn syndicate have been changed, to allow him to seek employment in another province.

The computer engineer appeared in the Kynsna Regional Court yesterday.

Last week the accused appeared in court twice to have his bail conditions amended in order for him to go to Kimberley to find work.

He was the first South African to be arrested in an international child porn investigation, involving South African and Belgian authorities.

NGO Women and Men Against Child Abuse’s, Joanne Barrett said, “Because we’re informed that he will be staying with his brother in a farm in Kimberly and has been instructed to report to the Kimberly police station once a week.”

In January, he became the first South African arrested in a joint operation between the South African Police Service (Saps) and Belgian authorities looking into an international child porn syndicate.
