Eight members of one family were expected to appear in a Pretoria court on Monday on child pornography charges.
The eight face charges of rape, indecent assault and sexual grooming of children, as well as possession, manufacturing and distribution of child pornography.
Those arrested included a grandfather (58) grandmother (57) their two sons from previous relationships, aged 34 and 36, the grandfather’s brother (61) and his wife (42) and their mentally disabled son (28). The 26-year-old wife of one of the sons was also arrested.
Reports said six children, from the age of four, were allegedly used as actors in sex movies which were then distributed.
Social workers became suspicious after two foster children — who were removed from the families in March and October — started doing badly at school. — Sapa
