In einem Prozess um sexuellen Missbrauch von Kindern auf Grundschultoiletten hat das Landgericht im nordrhein-westfälischen Krefeld den Angeklagten freigesprochen. Er soll aber laut Gericht dauerhaft in einer Psychiatrie untergebracht werden.

Overview

  • The Landgericht Krefeld ruled the 26-year-old not criminally responsible for abusing children aged six to nine in school toilets due to a schizophrenia diagnosis.
  • A forensic expert testified that the defendant posed a high risk of reoffense, prompting the court to order his indefinite detention in a closed psychiatric institution.
  • Police tied the suspect to multiple incidents in November 2024 through DNA recovered from a victim and photo identification by the pupils.
  • Court records show the German national had eight prior convictions for theft, fraud and related non-sexual offenses but no history of sexual crimes.
  • City officials audited safety in all 31 primary schools and have begun installing digital locking systems on restroom doors to enhance student protection.
