A former Free State teacher accused of being part of a child porn syndicate appeared briefly in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The man, who is out on R2000 bail, will be back in court on November 8.
In August, five other men, including another teacher and a retired school principal, appeared in various South African courts in connection with the same matter.
The six men were arrested in four provinces on August 15 after a tip-off from Interpol.
The men were allegedly found in possession of child pornography. They were arrested in Lichtenburg, Potchefstroom, Bloemfontein, White River, Douglasdale, and Florida.
A lawyer, a dermatologist, and a businessman are among the six. All are suspected of involvement in an international child pornography syndicate, police said at the time.
Police were investigating whether the six were involved in distribution and manufacturing of child pornography, and if they were linked to an international syndicate.
Investigators raided several homes in various provinces in August.
Among the items seized were 672 dvds, 22 memory sticks, eight laptops, two computer tablets, 39 external hard drives, and 25 books containing explicit photos.
It was reported the case had links to Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, western Europe and Australasia.
