A legal expert is calling on the government to train and equip police investigators and prosecutors on cybercrime to effectively handle cases involving online sexual abuse.
Speaking on Eye Radio’ Dawn Show this morning, Senior Advocate Monyluak Aguer Rou said law enforcement personnel need stronger capacity to combat the growing misuse of social media, where distressing footage showing individuals being sexually abused and private content is being shared online.
Monyluak warned that sharing such content online can cause long-term psychological harm to victims and may amount to a criminal offence under the Cybercrime and Computer Misuse Act 2026.
“Law enforcement is the responsibility of the state, specifically the executive authorities. This includes the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Justice, as well as the National Telecommunications Authority, all of which are tasked with protecting the country. They must react swiftly and decisively to address the spread of unethical content on social media,” he said.
He said the police and related institutions must react swiftly and decisively to address the spread of unethical content on social media.
He added that the new cybersecurity law in South Sudan requires action from the Ministry of Interior to train and qualify investigators, and from the Ministry of Justice to train prosecutors.
“The new cybersecurity law in South Sudan requires the Ministry of Interior to train and equip investigators, and the Ministry of Justice to train prosecutors. The judiciary, which also plays a key role, must be involved, as delays in handling such cases negatively affect citizens.
“We demand swift justice in these cases and urge that they are not delayed in the courts for extended periods,” he added.
In November 2025, Parliament passed the Cybercrimes and Computer Misuse Bill 2025, introducing offences such as unauthorized access to digital systems, identity theft, cyberstalking, spreading malicious software, wrongful distribution of images, and publishing false information online.
