The 25-year-old was arrested by police in Houghton for the possession of child pornography.
Police have arrested a woman on charges of possession of child pornography and money laundering in Houghton north of Johannesburg.
The 25-year-old, who is a web designer by profession, is said to be the girlfriend of Darren Wilken, the 35-year-old who was arrested last week after being found in possession of over 10 million images and videos of child pornography.
Police Spokesperson Amanda van Wyk says the woman is expected to appear before the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
“An intensive investigation by the SECI Units uncovered evidence linking the woman to criminal activities, including the possession of an estimated 10 million child pornography images and videos. These materials were discovered on various electronic devices seized during an operation on Friday, 17 January 2025. Further investigations continue.”
