Hamburg Prosecutors Indict 18-Year-Old Over Online Abuse of Girls and Attacks on Men

Prosecutors tie the case to the loose 'Com' online scene under a closed youth-court process.

Overview

  • Hamburg prosecutors filed the indictment Tuesday against an 18-year-old and confirmed he has been held since December 23, 2025.
  • They allege 37 acts against seven girls aged 12 to 15 between May 2023 and March 2024, including serious child sex abuse and causing dangerous bodily harm.
  • According to the charges, he used social media to push victims into sexual acts and visible self-harm on camera, then kept pressure with personal data and compromising videos.
  • Prosecutors also describe 11 meetings arranged on dating apps between summer 2024 and spring 2025 where men were attacked, with homophobic motives alleged.
  • Officials tie the case to the international 'Com' offender scene and report no evidence linking it to Hamburg’s separate 'White Tiger' trial.
