The Hamburg Land Court sentenced 43-year-old official Dennis W. to eight years in prison for sexually harassing Ukrainian boys aged 9 and 11 and producing child pornography.
According to the publication, after the war in Ukraine broke out, the German helped their family escape to Germany, promising to become their "protector." However, he then began to blackmail the family, threatening them with deportation. In return, the man demanded to be close to the children.
Between March 2022 and April 2023, he molested the children several times in his car and took photos of it. For example, he asked them to give him a massage. The boys refused, after which he began writing threatening emails to the 11-year-old Ukrainian. "You are no longer welcome here. I have the power to deport you and your family," one of the messages read.
During the trial, the official admitted most of the charges, so the children did not have to testify in court, adds Bild.
