A 16-year-old Tyrolean had to answer to the Innsbruck court on Thursday for abuse of minors and pornographic images of minors. The two girls he harassed via Snapchat were eight and nine years old.
Specifically, in January and May last year, the Unterlander asked a nine-year-old girl via the Snapchat photo chat platform to send him a “clear” video, and he wanted the same photos from an eight-year-old.
The boy’s parents had to wait outside
It soon became clear that the trial would take place behind closed doors. The suspect’s lawyer quickly requested this, even before the personal details were clarified. The parents of the 16-year-old were also waiting in front of the courtroom. His client does not want “you to be present at the hearing,” the defense attorney explains.
After a quick questioning of the defendant and a quick deliberation of the jury panel, the judge finally ruled. In addition to five months in prison, with a probationary period of three years, the 16-year-old must pay 1,200 euros. He was also ordered to undergo supportive counseling at a club. The judge cited the “so far orderly lifestyle” and the “repentant confession” as extenuating circumstances in his motivation for the verdict. However, it was aggravating that there were several offenses involving several victims.
