Three-Year-Old Brother Abused: 18-Year-Old Sentenced to Prison

She was sentenced to four months of conditional imprisonment for sexual abuse of minors and production and possession of pictorial child sexual abuse material.

The trial took place in parts excluding the public. After the presentation of the indictment and the counter-statement of the procedural assistant, the present media representatives had to leave the room. They were only allowed back in for the announcement of the verdict.

Defendant Confessed

The defendant confessed. "She can't explain it conclusively," her legal representative said about the incriminated actions. The 18-year-old, who works in her parents' catering business, lacks a daily structure. In addition, she suffers from a reduction in intelligence and is generally overwhelmed with her everyday life. "She's sorry. She hasn't done it again," the lawyer concluded.

Due to her confession, her previous good character and "unfavourable upbringing conditions", as the presiding judge explained, the 18-year-old was given a suspended sentence with a three-year probation period. She was instructed to undergo therapy. Probation assistance was also ordered. The 18-year-old agreed with everything.

How the abused three-year-old is doing was not discussed in the trial at least coram publico. It also remained open whether the boy still lives with his parents or whether the child and youth welfare (MA 11) has taken over custody.
