Overview
- Ebbing, a former FDP member of the Bundestag, told the Braunschweig regional court he did not touch the boy.
- The 52-year-old co-defendant, identified as a teacher, confessed to sexually abusing her then seven-year-old son in 2021.
- She testified that she saw Ebbing touch the child in a shower during a visit to Goslar.
- Ebbing rejected that account as “plainly false” and acknowledged explicit chats with the woman as fantasies he says were never carried out.
- Prosecutors allege the woman photographed the abuse and sent the images to Ebbing, a claim the court is examining as proceedings continue.
