Augsburg Court Sentences Mother to 3½ Years for Offering Eight-Year-Old Daughter for Sex

The verdict reflects German law that classifies offering a child for sexual acts as abuse.

Overview

  • The Amtsgericht Augsburg convicted the 30-year-old and imposed a three-and-a-half-year prison term.
  • The case centered on offers made via a messaging app for a man to have unprotected sex with the child in exchange for money.
  • The contacted man alerted police before any meeting occurred, triggering an investigation.
  • Investigators reported finding a digital image depicting the child's genitals during a search of the mother’s apartment.
  • Prosecutors said she sent initial photos, disclosed the child’s name and age, bargained from €200 to €100 for further images, and allegedly offered material to another contact for €2,000 before the eighth birthday.
