A 42-year-old South African man, Vico DuToit, has been arrested in Oklahoma, USA, where he was living on a work visa.
Authorities allege he uploaded and shared child sexual abuse material via Kik after a tip to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
He reportedly faces multiple charges, a $500,000 bond and an immigration detainer. A court hearing is reportedly scheduled for 4 November.
