In one of the first cases of webcam child sex abuse heard in a German court, a man was sentenced to five and a half years in jail for paying to watch children being sexually abused in the Philippines.
The man, identified by the court only as Martin R, 48, admitted to committing the crime. Over a span of two years, he admitted to paying a woman in the Philippines to abuse her three children and watched the abuse via webcam, Deutsche Welle reported.
Martin R reportedly paid 10,000 euros (US$12,357) to the woman, 3,000 euros of which was payment for abusing the children.
In court, prosecutors presented evidence of pictures and videos of the abuse, as well as chat logs of his exchanges with the woman in the Philippines. The court sentenced him to five and a half years in jail.
Axel Reiter, Martin R’s legal representative, said it was unlikely he would appeal the sentence.
It should be prosecuted also in the philippines no bias and there is nobody above the law rich or poor if you you are guilty of any crime no one is excempted, he or she will shoulder the consequence.
You are correct maam iam a filipino also, the mother was the root of abuse, so she should have the big punishment so that it should be fair for both of them who are guilty of cybersex human trafficking.
The filipino woman should also be prosecuted here in our country.
That’s all… 5.5 years? Hopefully the parent’s of the child received more.
