“The perpetrators in this case come from all walks of life. From young men to family fathers,” says public prosecutor Fleissner. Apparently normal fellow citizens. In secret pathological pedophile. The scam of the main perpetrator, pimp Daniel K., was extremely perfidious: “He used the social media on which many young girls cavort,” says prosecutor Demeter. Snapchat, Knuddels, Instagram. “He pretended to be a teenager, built trust with conversations.” The 12-year-old victim from Munich thought she was writing with Tim, 17 years old. “She fell in love with him, thought she was in a relationship with him,” Demeter said.
Then the pimp shamelessly took advantage of his victim’s naivety. “At this age, young girls can certainly develop sexual interest and are curious. That makes it easy for such perpetrators,” says Demeter. Daniel K. also put the girl under pressure, threatened to tell her father about their relationship. Until the schoolgirl consented to sex meetings with strange men.
What can parents do to protect their children?
“The main perpetrator placed advertisements on the classifieds portal, wrote that he would offer his girlfriend for sex for money,” explains investigator Tobias Fleissner.

When a classmate of the 12-year-old found out about it, he revealed himself to a teacher. “The boy reacted excellently,” says investigator Fleissner.

Develop an awareness of it.”

Instead, secure suspicious chats,” warns prosecutor Fleissner. And: “Report it immediately!”
