Child Safety | Child porn accused back in court

JOHANNESBURG - Child porn accused Darren Wilken and his girlfriend Tiona Moodley are expected to apply for bail in the Randburg magistrate's court.

Wilken was arrested in his Midrand home earlier this month.

He was found in possession of around 10 million images and videos of child pornography. 

Police also found over R500,000 in his home.

He’s back in court on Tuesday after being denied bail during his first appearance. Joining him in the dock is his 25-year-old girlfriend who also appeared on Monday.

His arrest has highlighted the dangers South African children face. 

Miranda Jordan from Women and Men Against Child Abuse said that this case is enormous.

"This is transnational, we know the FBI is involved," she said.
