In the case of serious child abuse in Münster, the public prosecutor's office made further allegations against two accused.
The evaluation of a previously encrypted cell phone brought three additional acts to light, which are now being accused of a 50-year-old from Hanover and the main defendant from Münster, who were already separately accused, said the public prosecutor.
The 27-year-old, who is at the center of the complex, is said to have brought his partner's son to an apartment in Hanover in June and November 2019, where the 50-year-old is said to have abused him.
In another newly discovered case, the main defendant allegedly raped his foster son himself.
Proceedings are already underway against both of them because of similar incidents.
In the abuse complex, the public prosecutor's office in Münster accuses at least eight suspects of having offended several children in changing constellations.
The mother of the main defendant is also charged because she is said to have known about the crimes.
The foster son of the main defendant was very often the victim.
The 27-year-old from Münster is said to have repeatedly left him to other men for acts of violence and to have raped him himself.
The largest trial from November 12th against five defendants will mainly revolve around what happened in a gazebo in Münster, where four men are said to have seriously abused two boys aged ten and five for several days.
After Lügde and Bergisch Gladbach, Münster is the third major abuse case in North Rhine-Westphalia in recent years.
The investigation into the abuse case in Münster resulted in arrests in other federal states, including Dresden and Pirna.
In addition, a Frenchman was arrested in Saarbrücken at the beginning of August.
He is said to have abused a boy in Pulheim near Cologne.
The 27-year-old from Münster is said to have given him the child in December 2018.
