The pictures show a police woman being poked. But people were not angry with the woman, but with whoever leaked the private photos.
Jabu Dlodlo wrote on Facebook: “He is disgusting. How can he embarrass someone like that?”
It was not clear when or where the photos were taken but rumour has it the suspect was let go after a s.e.x bribe. The caption said the man threatened to post the photos on social media if the woman didn’t do exactly what he asked.
National police spokesman Brigadier Vish Naidoo said: “We are still trying to find out if she is indeed a cop.”
He said if she was in fact a police officer, steps would be taken.
“We can’t rule out the possibility that it might be someone who happened to have a police uniform and wore it for the pictures,” he said.
Naidoo said the person who took the photos and posted them on social media had committed a crime.
Nozzy Tsietsi wrote on Facebook: “Not ayoba at all. There was no need to post such pictures.”
Thandi Zwane said: “Shame on whoever posted those pics. Hell is waiting for you.”
