Overview

  • The Landgericht Görlitz convicted the 40-year-old of 25 counts of rape, 34 counts of sexual abuse of wards and 233 counts of fraud, and ordered the confiscation of €100,000.
  • The presiding judge said the older stepdaughter was effectively enslaved and marketed, including being forced into group sex in forests and at motorway rest areas, which the defendant filmed.
  • Investigators found he controlled the victim’s finances and social media, creating profiles in her name to solicit men and induce transfers that exceeded €100,000.
  • The court determined he also committed sexual acts on his younger stepdaughter between September 2022 and the end of 2024.
  • The defendant has been in pre-trial detention since April 2025, the verdict is not yet legally binding, and the court rejected a request for preventive detention.
