Former pastor sentenced to four years in prison for child abuse

A shocking judgment shakes Fulda! A former Catholic pastor was sentenced to four years in prison by the district court - and that for severe sexual child abuse without physical contact. The shocking number of 68 charges brought the 43-year-old into this devastating location. Court spokesman Dominik Dute said that the allegations of abuse of children in particular for children's pornographic purposes weighed hard on the scales of law.

In a dramatic evidence, the defendant had been guilty of a video chat platform, where he not only owned and spread child pornographic material, but also asked children and young people to act sexual acts. Connected chats showed that he showed the young users "hard children's pornographic" material and showed himself. The general prosecutor's office in Frankfurt is satisfied with the judgment - it sends a clear message: sensational sexual abuse, even without direct body contact, is not tolerated!

appeal in prospect

The public prosecutor had asked for an even harder punishment of four and a half years, while the defense was exposed to probation for just two years. But the judge decided differently. And the defense did not stop: A revision against the judgment has already been announced, the next exciting steps in this case are imminent!
