MEDIA CELEBS FACE CHILD PORN CHARGES

TWO well-known media personalities appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday after the Pretoria child protection unit allegedly found child pornography at their Randburg home. Police spokesman Superintendent Chris Wilken said radio personality Tasco Luc de Reuck, 27, and film critic, Leon van Nierop, 47, were each granted bail of R5000 each. They were arrested at 8.30am on Monday and face charges of importing and possessing pornography involving children. The two will appear in court again on August 22.
