The Bonteheuwel mother who’s been on trial for sexually abusing and exploiting her children has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment.

Ward Councillor Angus McKenzie says the woman will need to reflect and deal with the pain, trauma and suffering she has inflicted on her children.

The investigation was launched by the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security which handed over the case to the South African authorities.

They then tracked her online activity of sharing and selling pornographic content of her children with buyers.

She was found guilty on 70 counts, ranging from rape to sexual assault.
