Gerhard Ackerman, who is currently on trial for 704 charges of rape and distribution child pornography and human trafficking, is being sought by SA police after he allegedly sold his movable property before he disappeared.

Ackerman last appeared in court on Monday, January 23, where he was being trialed for rape, attempted murder, distribution of child porn, human trafficking of minor children for sexual exploitation. He failed to appear in court on Thursday citing ill-health.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane, police went to Ackerman's home on Friday and found it abandoned. “The investigation team acted swiftly and visited his place of residence after realising that the accused has become unreachable. On arrival they found that the accused moved out and sold all his movable assets. He has since disappeared, which is a contravention of the bail conditions.
