A 25-year-old woman of Hillview has been granted R300 bail after she was charged for being in possession of child pornography.
Police say the woman cannot be identified until the investigation is completed.
The suspect made an appearance at the Muizenberg Magistrates’ Court on Friday, where she was granted R300 bail and ordered to be back at court on 22 October.
The woman was arrested after she had allegedly been approached by a male friend via Facebook who asked her to take photographs of two little girls and send it to him.
Their “little secret” allegedly got out and she was confronted by a community member.
Cops were called to Hillview where she was arrested.
It is not clear whether the male friend is also being investigated.
A community member, who asked not to be identified, says they are aware of the incident: “When this person confronted her she fought with this person and the police was called and that is when the whole bag of beans was spilled.

“Everyone knows her and she is just 25-years-old.
“With all these incidents involving women and children being raped and killed this is serious and shocking.
“We understand she was granted R300 bail.”
Details about the images is yet to be revealed in court including how old the girls are.
It is understood the suspect is not related to the children.
