Durban man in court for possession of child pornography
A KwaZulu-Natal man, who was nabbed by local police after he was allegedly found in possession of child pornography, is expected to make his first appearance in the Durban Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
Police say they received information about the suspect from an undercover agent based in the USA last month.
The agent informed them that the suspect was distributing child pornography on social media.
Police spokesperson Nqobile Gwala says the Serial and Electronic Crime Unit were then roped in to investigate.
