Overview

• A 63-year-old tutor was convicted by the Landgericht Hamburg for sexually abusing a 10-year-old student during a German lesson in her family's home in November 2024.
• The court sentenced him to 1½ years of imprisonment, suspended, with probationary measures including mandatory therapy and a professional ban on working with minors.
• The tutor confessed to the abuse, expressed remorse, and committed to undergoing therapy and ceasing tutoring permanently.
• This conviction follows a prior October 2024 guilty verdict for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old, for which he received a nine-month suspended sentence.
• The court emphasized the severity of the offense, noting the victim's disclosure to her parents was critical in advancing the case, sparing her the need to testify in court.
