A 45-year-old German man who had offered babysitting services online went on trial Tuesday in the western city of Cologne accused of almost 100 counts of child sexual abuse.
Prosecutors told the Cologne regional court that the man documented the abuse of babies, children and teenagers, and shared videos and images of “unimaginable brutality” with dozens of people, German news agency dpa reported.
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.”
Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 15 years imprisonment followed by continued security confinement if the man, whose name wasn't released for privacy reasons, is convicted.

Why in the F would anyone let a 45 year old MAN, offering babysitting services online, watch their offspring? People are incredibly stupid.

They've never encountered such brutality... yet only want 15 years imprisonment. Smdh. Get it together Germany. Try switching those numbers, 51 years sounds more fitting.
