He kept sending her messages to her cell phone: "Really good" she looks.

»Skin beautiful«, »body very well cared for«.

And: "Must gawk a lot;)".

He rated her body on a scale from 1 to 10, her legs, her "ass".

And he asked: "Did you take a picture here in bikini?" When she said no, he wrote: "Have to take one now".

He sent a photo of himself, shirtless, in the bathroom.

She was 16 years old when he sent this news, which SPIEGEL has received.

He was her trainer and was 37 years old at the time.

When she was 15, she said he forced her to kiss her for the first time.

It went on like this for years, once he wrote: "Today before training you were soooo sexy".

Another time: “Your tits turned me on.” When she didn't react immediately, he first sent a “Sorry,” but didn't give up: “Then make me horny quickly.

Then we sleep.

I'll be done in 5 minutes «.

The message ended with the emoji of three splashing drops.

She was now 18 years old and he was still her trainer.

He had power over her and her career.
