A South African policewoman has been arrested for recording and forcing her 12-year-old son to have sex with her.

In the viral video, the policewoman can be seen lying on her back, naked with her legs wide open. She then calls her 12-year-old son to come and ‘do it’.

She then says “get on top of me.” At this point, the young boy says “I can’t do it” but she continues and she opens her thighs and says: “do it, put it in there.”

The boy obeyed and inserted it, then started stroking her.

According to reports in South Africa, the mum is a police constable based in Limpopo. South Africans have taken to social media to call for her to be punished.

The woman has been arrested on charges of rape of a minor, sexual grooming of a child and creating and distributing child pornography.

The Limpopo police spokesman, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo, said a court remanded her in jail until next Tuesday, 30 January when she can have a bail hearing.

Mojapelo revealed that the child is in a safe location and that the country won’t stop fishing out perpetrators of child abuse.
