Police officer found guilty of possessing child pornography, previously employed in schools.
In a shocking turn of events, a police officer in Lübeck, Germany, has been sentenced to a suspended sentence of one year and two months for the retrieval of child and youth pornography. The trial, which began in June, was held at the regional court in Schleswig-Holstein.
The officer, who worked as a prevention officer at schools, was responsible for informing children and young people about dangers. However, his actions led to his conviction for the same offenses he was supposed to prevent.
The announcement of the sentence was made by a spokesman on Wednesday. The officer is now required to perform 200 hours of community service and pay 1,000 euros to the children's protection association.
Interestingly, this is not the first time the officer has faced legal consequences. In February, he was previously sentenced to a suspended sentence of one year and three months by the Eutin local court.
It is important to note that the verdict of the regional court in Schleswig-Holstein is not yet final. Both the defendant and the public prosecutor's office have filed an appeal, leading to the case being taken to Lübeck. The appeal can be filed within a week.
