SVEN Littkowski, the German national believed to be the mastermind of an alleged child pornography ring and fertility centre in Jamaica, was remanded in custody when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Attorney Aon Stewart was on Monday scheduled to make a bail application on Littkowski's behalf but asked for a postponement until Thursday in order to peruse statements that had moments earlier served on him and to take further instructions from his client.

Littkowski, a 49-year-old businessman, is charged with three counts of possession of child pornography. He was arrested on January 11, following a police operation at his home where several computers and hard drives, on which sexually explicit photographs and videos of minors were stored were allegedly seized.

Detectives from the Organised Crime Investigation Division have also reported that evidence collected so far has indicated that the accused illegally performed the duties of a doctor who could provide fertility treatment for women.

Additionally, the accused is also before the court where he is on trial on a charge of practising medicine without a licence following allegations that he injected a woman in her bottom, claiming he could enlarge it to remove stretch marks.

Littkowski was fined last year after pleading to guilty to overstaying his time in the country.
