A juicy case was heard in a court in England: an Austrian (36) living in Germany approached a then twelve-year-old girl using the mobile game ‘Roblox’, which was popular among children. He met her, gave her a secret mobile phone – and even wanted to give the girl a passport.
Heads shook in the courtroom in the eastern English city of Norwich: an Austrian living in Germany was in the dock. He is 36 years old and was identified by the British newspaper “The Telegraph” as Michael S.. The charges he faced are extremely serious. ‘Grooming’ occurs when pedophiles deliberately gain the trust of children.
Child attracted through online game “Roblox”.
Michael S. is said to have done this using the relatively harmless game ‘Roblox’, which is so popular with children. Worlds that are reminiscent of Lego must be created. So far so childish. It is very common for perverts to write to children via online chat. Michael S. may have pretended to be 21 years old when the victim was only twelve years old. The chats the two had likely soon included sexual content, including photos and videos taken for Michael S.
Kissed a girl in the park – mother exposed everything
On June 16 last year, the girl pretended to walk the dog with her mother in a park in Hethersett, near Norwich. When the 13-year-old didn’t return, her mother went to check. And found the girl together with the 36-year-old Austrian. As he fled on the bus, the girl remained silent. However, a little later the mother found a secret mobile phone that S. had given to the girl for communication. On the cell phone: instructions to hide the cell phone, details so S. could give the girl a passport to leave the country, and a photo of the two kissing.
More than 800 child porn videos on mobile phones
S. was arrested at London Heathrow Airport on June 23 because he wanted to leave the country for Munich. Police said there were more than 800 photos and videos of children with sexual content on his mobile phone – including the 13-year-old he had previously met at the park in Hethersett. “An extremely serious matter,” said the courtroom.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs visited Austrians in custody
According to The Telegraph, Michael S. was sentenced to eight and a half years, of which four and a half years in prison and the rest on probation. S. has also been added to the sex offenders register. At the request of the ‘Krone’, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was able to confirm that the embassy in London had been in contact with S. since the arrest, including in the form of prison visits.
