A convicted pedophile appeared before a court in Berlin yesterday on charges of raping six children — the youngest just 5 years-old — while working in India, local media reported.
The 59-year-old man, named as Karl-Heinz N., was previously convicted in 1996 by a court in Thailand for sexual offenses against minors, the reports said.
According to the regional RBB television channel, investigators in Germany discovered more than 250,000 images and videos of child pornography on a hard drive at the man’s Berlin apartment.
He is accused of raping six children between 5 and 11 years old in 2015 and 2016 while working in India, the DPA news agency reported.
The man “had a large number of boys and young teenagers, some of whom lived nearby, on whom he performed sexual acts and filmed them,” prosecutors were quoted as saying by DPA.
RBB said the man had spent four years in a Thai jail before being freed by a pardon.
