A couple have been arrested in Mombasa for allegedly exploiting their children in an online sex ring.
In a statement issued by DCI on Monday, July 14, officers drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU) apprehended the couple after acting on intelligence leads.
After investigations, the officers uncovered that the woman reportedly shared sexually explicit content involving her children aged 13, 7 and 4 through an online dating site.

The DCI moreover revealed that the mother of two girls and one boy sold the content she generated to interested clients in exchange for money.
The officers also discovered the father had been repeatedly defiling their 13-year-old daughter since she was just 11.
The couple has since been arraigned in Mombasa, where the mother was granted a bond of Ksh1 million, with two sureties of the same amount.
Meanwhile, the father remains in custody at Shazu Prisons, awaiting a bond ruling scheduled for Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
The mother is a 41-year-old woman and the father is 52-year-old.
