AfriForum Youth today filed criminal complaints against Pierre de Vos with the South African Police Service (SAPS) after child pornography was posted on his Twitter profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the post that appeared on De Vos\u2019s profile on 11 September, a young boy could be seen being sexually abused by an adult man. The complaint that the youth organisation filed today is in accordance with section 19A(4) of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offenses and Related Matters) Amendment Act (32 of 2007), as well as the provision against the distribution of child pornography in the Film and Publication Act (65 of 1996, as amended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe trust that the SAPS will investigate the complaint thoroughly, as it is unacceptable that a prominent figure could possibly be guilty of such atrocities without a thorough investigation. Child pornography contributes to the child trafficking industry which is a growing problem in South Africa. We, therefore, cannot ignore this incident,\u201d says Ren\u00e9 van der Vyver, spokesperson for AfriForum Youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
