A Verulam father has been accused of sexually grooming his minor stepdaughter by allegedly forcing her to watch explicit scenes from pornographic videos on his phone. He allegedly told the girl, who was nine-years-old at the time, that she needed to learn how to perform the sexual acts illustrated in the videos, so she could ‘sell’ her body to other men and women. He was served with indictments in the Verulam Magistrate’s Court last week. A report on the IoL site notes that the accused is being charged with 11 counts of rape, three of child abuse, human trafficking, sexual exploitation and sexual grooming of children as well as creation, possession and distribution of child pornography and causing or compelling children to witness self-masturbation.
