For years he has sent his girlfriends looking for toddlers to satisfy his sexual fantasies. A 33-year-old now became more and more extreme.
Gera – The details are disturbing, the punishment correspondingly harsh: A 33-year-old was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison and subsequent preventive detention at the Gera district court for serious sexual abuse of two babies and a toddler.
“We have no doubts about your dangerousness,” said the presiding judge on Tuesday. The man who accepted the verdict without moving had solidified his sexual inclination over the years and always went one step further.
In the future, the court saw no signs that the man’s behavior might change. If he were to be released again around the age of 40, his libido would not have decreased – “and that makes it so dangerous”. The judge continued to look for unstable young women to look after young children for him. “His motto was:” I take small children, abuse them, they can’t remember. “”
First of all, he got his girlfriend at the time to abuse her baby, who was a few months old at the time, and to send him videos of it. Together with a later friend, he abused the child of one of their acquaintances. Both women have already been convicted. The man received a prison sentence of four and a half years for this crime complex on Tuesday.
With a 21-year-old co-defendant, he also abused her niece, who was two years old at the beginning, several times during their relationship between 2017 and 2020. The child had to drink urine, among other things. In the end, he was alone with the child in a room and performed specific sexual acts on him. The court sentenced him to six years in prison for these offenses. The co-defendant received two years’ imprisonment. The court said that she was not just a follower of the deeds. Both had previously been in custody.
A “warning shot” in the time, namely a conviction for sexual abuse, which was overturned in the revision, the man disregarded and carried on. The case really got going after a search of his apartment as part of another proceeding against the man. Evidence such as chat histories came to light that incriminated not only him, but also the 21-year-old. In the course of the proceedings, both admitted more and more allegations – but only when the evidence was correspondingly oppressive, as the judge noted.
On the last day of the trial on Tuesday, the prosecution and defense also held their pleadings in camera. Nothing was known about the required sentences. The verdict is not yet legally binding. The 33-year-old’s lawyer described the verdict as harsh but within the realms of possibility. It has not yet been decided whether he wants to go into revision. dpa
