Detectives drawn from the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU) and DCI Changamwe have arrested a couple in Mombasa for the alleged exploitation and online solicitation of their own children.

The two parents, now facing grave accusations, were arrested following an intelligence-led operation.

The mother, aged 41, was reportedly using a dating platform, to advertise her three children aged 13, 7, and 4 (two girls and a boy), exposing the minors to sexual exploitation.

Police investigations revealed that the woman was generating income by sharing sexually explicit content involving her children as she offered the content to interested clients in exchange for money.
