The 26-year-old man was arrested last year after the parents of two girls filed criminal charges with the police.
He posed as a 13 year old girl
The man had already confessed when he was arrested to have pretended to be 13-year-old Lisa on the short video exchange portal Likee. In this way, he persuaded four girls from the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis, Leverkusen, Neuss and Düsseldorf to send him nude photos and videos. The victims were nine and ten years old.
Image and video material found in apartment
When the defendant’s home was searched a year ago, more than 1,500 image and video files of naked underage girls in sexualized poses were found.
Defendant announces confession via lawyer
Initially, only today’s negotiation day is scheduled for the process. The defendant’s lawyer has already announced that his client will admit all allegations. Thus, the now ten and eleven year old girls are spared a testimony as witnesses in court.
In addition, the defendant has announced via a lawyer that he will pay the victims compensation for pain and suffering. The public was excluded from the trial this morning. According to a court spokeswoman, the verdict is expected on Tuesday.
