A couple in Germany have been jailed for more than 12 years each 
for the repeated rape and abuse of the woman’s ten-year-old son, 
and for forcing him into prostitution.

In one of the most disturbing child sex cases ever heard by the 
German courts, the 48-year-old woman and her partner were found 
guilty of selling the child to paedophiles over the internet on 
almost 50 occasions.

They were also found guilty of filming themselves raping and 
sexually abusing the child and distributing the video to 
paedophiles over the “dark net”, the unregulated part of the 
internet.

The woman, named only as Berrin T under German privacy laws, was 
sentenced to 12 years and six months in prison.

Her 39-year-old partner, named only as Christian L, was 
sentenced to 12 years in prison. He has a previous conviction 
for child sex crimes and was ordered to be kept in indefinite 
preventive detention after completing his sentence so that he 
cannot harm any more children.

Six other defendants have also been sentenced to lengthy prison 
terms for sexually abusing the woman’s ten-year-old son, who  
has not been named under child protection laws. The couple were 
also convicted of the sexual abuse of another child, aged three.

It was Berrin T who carried out “the most violent acts” in video 
footage of the abuse shown to the court, Judge Stefan Bürgelin 
said as he sentenced the mother, adding: “Although her son cried 
out in pain, she did not leave him alone.”

Berrin T had initially allowed Christian L to abuse her son and 
participated herself because she did not want to jeopardise her 
relationship with her new partner, the judge said.

Later the couple’s motive became financial, as they began to 
make money from prostituting the child over the internet.

The court heard how the couple made thouands of euros by selling 
the boy to paedophiles who sexually abused him.

They sold time with the child over the “dark net”, an area of 
the internet that is inaccessible without specialist software 
and used by paedophiles and criminals to hide their activities.

A psychiatrist testified to the court that Berrin T had shown no 
previous tendency to paedophilia, and that she was “prepared to 
sacrifice both her own child and another child” to maintain her 
relationship with Christian L.

The judge said he believed she was still capable of 
rehabilitation, and so did not hand her the maximum possible 
life sentence.

Six of those who abused the child after paying the couple have 
also been sentenced to lengthy jail terms in a series of 
separate cases.

The judge said Christian L had received a slightly lower 
sentence in recognition of the fact he testified against the 
boy’s other abusers. But he added that the 39-year-old could not 
be released because of the risk he would abuse other children, 
and will be held in indefinite preventive detention after 
completing his sentence.
