The YouTuber Drachenlord has trouble with the judiciary again.
This time it should go to the distribution of offensive videos.
He is already serving a suspended sentence.
Emskirchen – Hardly any YouTuber polarizes like Rainer Winkler, alias Drachenlord, from Middle Franconia (Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district).
Most recently, the 33-year-old was the focus of reporting because of his conviction at the Nuremberg-Fürth district court.
He was charged with committing multiple assaults.
He received a one-year suspended sentence for this.
Now the YouTuber has trouble with the judiciary again.
YouTuber Drachenlord is said to have distributed videos that glorify violence and animal pornography
The dragon lord has been making headlines for years.
Less because of the content he produces for the YouTube video platform, but more because of his verbal gaffes and physical arguments with his so-called fans.
Sometimes his house was besieged by crowds of people, so even the police had to intervene.
In the end, the constant siege of his parents' house led him to look for a new place to live.

But the 33-year-old was not quiet.
The public prosecutor's office in Stuttgart is currently investigating Winkler.
The BR found this out on request.
There is suspicion of the distribution of violent or animal pornographic videos.
He himself has already commented on the allegations in two videos on his YouTube channel.

YouTuber Drachenlord comments on the allegations
The dragon lord denies having distributed animal pornographic videos.
However, he is said to have shared video content on a "special forum", which he said he had marked as glorifying violence.
The 33-year-old does not deny that these forums are also intended to cater to a certain fetish.
He also says that the police are said to have confiscated his technical devices such as PCs and various data carriers.
It was not initially known how far the investigations against the franc had progressed.
