A French Ex-spy has been nabbed for child trafficking in Kenya.
According to reports, the suspect was arrested on Monday, July 28 and was charged with human trafficking, rape, sexual assault on minors and importing pornographic images of a minor.
Other reports indicate the 58-year-old is suspected of having paid for and remotely orchestrated sexual abuse and filmed scenes that he then consumed.
However, a US-based foundation fighting child sex crimes spotted his videos online and subsequently alerted the French police.
This comes weeks after a Kenyan couple was arrested while attempting to sell their children for similar exploitation through an online dating platform.
Detectives from the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Changamwe, arrested the couple in Mombasa after receiving a tip.
The mother, aged 41, was reportedly using a dating platform to advertise her three children, aged 13, 7, and 4, exposing the minors to sexual exploitation by foreigners.
Due to the charges, the couple might face life imprisonment.
