A 32 year old German national has been arrested in Palma de Mallorca on charges of sexually abusing his own children and offering his children to other paedophiles.
The investigation began when German police reported the discovery of a video showing an adult abusing several children and then forcing the children to have sex with each other.
An analysis of the contents of the recording showed the adult and four children in the cabin of a boat and inside a home. It became apparent that the acts had been committed somewhere in Mallorca and that the assailant was the father of at least one of the children as during the recording, one of the victims could be heard calling him “Dad.”
It is thought that the images were recorded in 2008 when the children were aged between 3 years and 9 years.
After a long and complicated investigation, police finally identified the paedophile. At the time of his arrest he was carrying a memory card for a video camera with recordings showing relations with the daughter of his ex-wife when the girl was aged six or seven years.
During a search of the detainee’s home, police were able to match the home and many of the contents to the original video.
