The Randburg Magistrate’s Court has postponed the case of a 25-year-old web designer to Tuesday for a formal bail application.

Arrested last week in Houghton, Johannesburg, the woman faces charges of possession of child pornography and money laundering. She is the girlfriend of 35-year-old Darren Wilken, who was arrested earlier this month after authorities discovered over 10 million images and videos of child pornography in his possession.

Now listed as the second accused in the case, she faces the same charges as Wilken, including manufacturing, selling, and distributing child pornography, as well as money laundering.

The visibly distressed woman remains in custody ahead of her bail application, while the case continues to draw significant attention due to its scale and implications.
