In the abuse complex in Münster, the police arrested the 31-year-old mother of a victim.
As the police and public prosecutor announced, the Münster district court issued an arrest warrant.
The mother has been investigated since spring 2020.
After a statement by a defendant from Aachen before the Münster district court and further investigations, the urgent suspicion against the woman has been confirmed, said chief prosecutor Martin Botzenhardt of the news agency dpa.
The now eleven-year-old boy is said to have been sexually abused by his foster father and other men for years.
The main crime scene is said to have been a gazebo in Münster.
The mother of the child is said to have known since at least October 2018 that her partner had repeatedly abused her son seriously.
Mother is said to have tolerated it
Her boyfriend is said to have admitted the abuse to her on vacation.
She is also said to have tolerated her partner driving the child to numerous places in Germany where the boy was mistreated.
She did not prevent the alleged multiple serious sexual abuse of her child.
According to the announcement, there is also suspicion that the mother forced the abuse during a vacation in Denmark in 2019 by encouraging the boy to get involved.
In fact, she was there and did not prevent it.
According to the information, the woman from Münster has not yet commented on the allegations.
