A Cape Town mother arrested for allegedly selling pictures of her naked four-year-old daughter on the dark web had her case postponed again on Wednesday.
The woman, who cannot be named to protect her minor child, appeared in the Bishop Lavis magistrate's court.
NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said the case was postponed to December 20 for an indictment and summary of facts.“The FBI picked this up on the internet and an agent from Homeland Security acted as a buyer and traced her to Bonteheuwel via geotagging,” said Ntabazalila. “She received payments via PayPal.
“It is worrying that for months there is no decision on the charges that are to be brought against the mother. What message does this send to other perpetrators of gender based violence - that it is OK? That your case will go on for months and months without any conclusion while your victim suffers.”“This matter must draw to a conclusion, a court date must be decided upon and charges must be brought,” he said.
