Ex‑Reality TV Contestant Faces Dresden Trial on 172‑Count Child Abuse Indictment

Hearings remain public after the defense rejected prosecutors' claim of a near‑confession.

Overview

  • Prosecutors allege that from November 2022 to September 2025 the accused hosted house parties in his DresdenLöbtau apartment, recruited via Snapchat, and gave minors MDMA, GBL or ketamine to facilitate assaults.
  • Three alleged victims aged 13 to 17 are central to the case, including one said to have been rendered unconscious and raped together with two unidentified men.
  • Investigators say the assaults were recorded by the accused and clips shared on WhatsApp, and a September 2025 search reportedly uncovered files showing severe abuse of very young children.
  • The defendant is exercising his right to remain silent, and the Große Jugendkammer refused his request to exclude the public as proceedings continue with additional court dates scheduled into May.
  • The charges span rape, severe sexual abuse of youths, distribution of child sexual abuse material and supplying drugs, with the trial drawing attention due to the defendant’s past appearances on The Biggest Loser and Schwer verliebt.
