A 47-year-old mother and 48-year-old father were arrested by the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Bloubergstrand, Western Cape, on Tuesday, 10 June 2025, for the sexual abuse of their two daughters, aged three and eight.
"The suspects face several charges, including the production of child sexual abuse material (commonly known as child pornography), rape, sexual assault, and sexual grooming. The victims were rescued during the operation and have since been placed in a safe facility," said SAPS national spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Van Wyk.
She added that the operation was conducted by a multidisciplinary team comprising members of the national and Western Cape Serial and Electronic Crime Investigations (SECI) Units, along with officials from the Department of Social Development (DSD), with support from the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
The suspects were located at a residence and identified through joint investigative efforts. Several electronic devices were confiscated during the arrest. The investigation is ongoing.
