Darren Wilken and his girlfriend, Tiona Moodley, will return to a Randburg court on Tuesday to apply for bail.

 

Their arrest follows the discovery of more than 10 million illicit videos and images of children in Wilken's Midrand home over a week ago.

 

The bust follows investigations by international teams.
