- An investigation for suspected manufacture of youth pornography under §184c StGB has been ongoing since late July, according to the public prosecutor’s office.
- Police searched the teacher’s home and seized computers and other data carriers, with forensic analysis underway that officials say typically takes months.
- The longtime Heinrich‑Mann‑Schule teacher has been reassigned to duties without any contact with children or adolescents, the local school authority confirmed.
- Media reports state the AI‑generated depiction came to light after the teacher showed it to a colleague, and investigators say the case currently targets only the teacher.
- No indictment has been filed to date, and legal specialists highlight uncertainty over whether existing statutes clearly cover synthetic sexual content created with AI.
