During the raid, the investigators also discovered technical equipment in the house, sometimes hidden in a false ceiling. This was used to make the film footage of the abuse that was later offered on the Internet. Investigators had to sift through them. Furth: “Even the most experienced officials have reached the limits of what is tolerable – and beyond.”
600 terabytes of material
Incredible: The child from Münster was abused by other pedophiles with whom the main perpetrator Adrian V. had contact and who exchanged tons of child pornography material. In addition to the ten-year-old, at least two other boys were abused by the group – one is the son, the other the nephew of another arrested person.
According to BILD information, almost 600 terabytes of material have already been found, new data carriers with terrible child porn recordings are constantly being added. The men’s cell phones are also evaluated – it is not easy to crack them. Joachim Poll, head of the investigation: “These people – if you can call them that – act perfectly. They encrypted all conversations and messages on secure cell phones. ”One click, one key press was enough and all data would be destroyed.

The sex offenders got to know each other in disgusting child porn chats and then met with the defenseless children nationwide. It is unclear how many more victims there could be. First of all, the huge amounts of saved data have to be evaluated.
The police in Frankfurt (Oder) also searched a house and an allotment plot in Finowfurt, Brandenburg. The mission also involved ensuring child pornography. The police officers now want to determine whether children in the garden parcel there have also been abused. The action was also planned and carried out by officials from North Rhine-Westphalia.
North Rhine-Westphalia again
North Rhine-Westphalia had hit the headlines since early 2019 due to several cases of serious sexual abuse of children. At a campsite in Lügde in the Lippe district, several men had sexually abused children hundreds of times over the years.
Investigations into a nationwide child pornography exchange ring had begun in Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne in October 2019 and now extend to all federal states.
North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) had declared child abuse a top priority after the Lügde case and strengthened the work of the investigative authorities in this area.
