Man sentenced for possession of child pornography

DURBAN – As we continue to celebrate the National Child Protection week let us report all forms of abuse directed at children to the police. Working together we can make this province a safe place for every child.

Sajith Ramlutchan Ramlall (53) appeared in the Durban Regional Court for being in possession of child pornography and was sentenced to eight years imprisonment with three years, which was wholly suspended. The accused will serve five years behind bars.

On 26 November 2020, police received information that a man who stays on Ramsunder Road in Isipingo Rail was in possession of child pornography and an investigation was initiated. In December 2020, police proceeded to the accused’s residence and conducted a search of the premises. During the search, a laptop and two hard drives were seized. Forensic analysis was done on the devices and images of child pornography were identified. Ramlall made several court appearance before he was convicted and sentenced.
