Darmstadt: 56-year-old arrested – suspected of child pornography!
On Friday afternoon, an incident in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district caused a stir. A 56-year-old man was temporarily arrested because he was watching child pornography videos on his smartphone in the Luisencenter.

How Picture reported, an investigating judge ordered a search of the suspect's apartment at the request of the Darmstadt public prosecutor's office. During this search, additional data carriers were seized that may contain incriminating material.

Legislation in focus
The possession and distribution of child pornographic content is one of the most serious crimes in German criminal law and is clearly regulated in various paragraphs. According to § 184b StGB, perpetrators who possess such content can expect a prison sentence of 6 months to 10 years. This clear legal basis is not only intended to deter people, but also to offer protection to those affected.
It is particularly alarming that such incidents continue to occur. It is repeatedly pointed out that it is not just about punishing the perpetrators, but also about prevention and protecting children. In Germany, the handling of child pornography content is clearly anchored in the law in order to protect the weakest members of our society and to consistently hold perpetrators accountable.
Acts like those of the 56-year-old should not go unnoticed. Children and young people are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse and society must be vigilant. Supported by comprehensive laws like them Federal Criminal Police Office represents, work is underway to ensure the safety of our children and to prosecute those responsible.
