A 45-year-old German man who had offered babysitting services online has gone on trial in the western city of Cologne accused of almost 100 counts of child sexual abuse.

The defendant in the Wermelskirchen abuse complex holds a folder in front of his face in the courtroom in Cologne, Germany, Tuesday, Dec.6, 2022. The man allegedly offered himself as a babysitter on the Internet and thus got in touch with the families of the victims. In total, he is charged with 124 acts, including possession of child pornography and aiding and abetting abuse.

Investigators who discovered vast amounts of incriminating data last year at the married man's home, in the town of Wermelskirchen, said at the time that they had never previously "encountered such a level of inhuman brutality and callous indifference to the suffering of young children.” In a separate case Tuesday, four men were convicted by a court in Frankfurt for their involvement in an online platform known as “Boystown,” which was used to spread images of child sexual abuse.

I would question his intentions and why would anyone allow a strange man around their children. I would’ve installed cameras everywhere. Sick individual
