CHILD PORN: MORE CELEBS UNDER SCRUTINY

POLICE are investigating the involvement of more South African celebrities in an international child porn syndicate. The revelation comes a day after freelance journalist Tasco Luc de Reuck, 27, and film critic Leon van Nierop, 47, were each granted bail of R5_ 000 in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court after the Pretoria child protection unit allegedly found child pornography at their Randburg home. Police on Tuesday confirmed that at least three other child pornography cases were under scrutiny in the Pretoria area. Van Nierop and de Reuck will appear in court again on August 22.
