JP Mbenenge presides in the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court and was accused by Mengo a judge's clerk, of sexual harassment, in which she alleges several disturbing communications from Mbenenge.

Möller said he did a logical extraction of information from both devices, which included calls, contact information, media files, messages, and locations.
