Overview

• The Federal Court of Justice is reviewing the appeal of a 34-year-old father convicted of abusing his infant daughter over two years, producing and distributing child pornography.
• The man received an 11-year and 9-month prison sentence from the Neubrandenburg court, with potential for preventive detention; his partner was sentenced to over four years for complicity.
• In Berlin, a 53-year-old father admitted to sexually abusing his daughter and offering her for abuse online, though he claimed the offers were not serious.
• The Berlin trial, involving charges of sexual abuse, preparation for child exploitation, and child pornography distribution, will resume on April 24.
• Both cases highlight Germany's intensified focus on combating intra-familial abuse and digital exploitation through forensic investigations and international cooperation.
