Germany investigating 30,000 suspects in paedophile probe
The cyber crime unit in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is investigating 30,000 unknown suspects” in the case, the justice ministry for Germany's most populous state said in a tweet.
“We want to drag perpetrators and supporters of child abuse out of the anonymity of the internet,” the ministry said.
Those being investigated are suspected of sharing “child and youth pornographic content” including “fictitious and/or real acts of abuse” in anonymous online discussion forums and chat groups, the cyber crime unit ZAC NRW said in a statement.
From July 1st, the North Rhine-Westphalia justice ministry plans to launch a task force in a bid to prosecute paedophiles on the net, as well as cyber terrorists and hackers, reported Spiegel.
“I did not expect, not even remotely, the extent of child abuse on the internet,” North Rhine-Westphalia's justice minister Peter Beisenbach told reporters.
What the investigation team had uncovered was “deeply disturbing”, he said.
“We must recognise that child abuse on the internet is more widespread than we had previously thought.”

>Germany investigating 30,000 suspects in paedophile probe
The abuse investigations began last October with the arrest of a suspected perpetrator in Bergisch Gladbach, near Cologne.
To date, just over 70 suspects have been identified throughout Germany.
In May, the first offender – a 27-year-old soldier – was sentenced to 10 years in prison and placed in a psychiatric hospital for an indefinite period.
Germany has been left shocked at the discovery of several serious cases of child sex abuse over the past 18 months.
In early June, 11 people were arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing children and filming their actions after videos and photos were seized from the cellar of a 27-year-old man from the western city of MĂĽnster, also in North Rhine-Westphalia state.
Investigators said they had identified at least three victims, aged five, 10 and 12 years old.
Officials said then that investigative capacities on child abuse had been increased, which would likely lead to the discovery of more cases.
In an earlier scandal in LĂĽgde, 125 kilometres (80 miles) from Muenster, several men abused children several hundred times at a campsite over a period of several years.

Traces of possibly 30,000 suspects discovered
In connection with serious acts of abuse in Bergisch Gladbach, according to the Minister of Justice of North Rhine-Westphalia, there should be indications of up to 30,000 suspects.
During the investigation into the abuse case in Bergisch Gladbach , the investigators found traces that could lead to more than 30,000 suspects. North Rhine-Westphalia Justice Minister Peter Biesenbach (CDU) announced this in DĂĽsseldorf. It is not a question of individual perpetrators, but rather a "networked online network", according to Biesenbach. "I did not expect the extent of child abuse on the net in the remotest," said the Minister of Justice.
It is about the distribution and possession of child pornography as well as concrete acts of abuse. In forums and messenger services, the criminals dealt very blatantly with their acts of abuse, heated up and gave each other tips. The aim now is to pull these perpetrators and supporters of child abuse out of the anonymity of the Internet.
The Ministry of Justice of North Rhine-Westphalia wants to pursue potential pedophile offenders online as well as cyber terrorists and hackers with its own task force from July 1st. Six prosecutors are said to first try to resolve cases that are expected to continue child abuse.
If you want to actively combat child abuse online, you also have to talk about legal regulations for the storage of data, Justice Minister Biesenbach continued.
On the Internet, the inhibition threshold for perpetrators is sinking, said Chief Public Prosecutor Markus Hartmann from the ZAC. "The perpetrators communicating in relevant forums perceive child abuse as 'normal' and find a huge group of like-minded people." That is what is outstanding about the situation for criminology.
In autumn, the police in Bergisch Gladbach arrested a 43-year-old who is said to have abused his daughter as a child . According to the investigators, he filmed the rapes and shared the videos with his chat partners. About this case, the Cologne police tracked down a network of alleged sex offenders that reached as far as Austria and Switzerland.
"System geared towards reward and habituation"
"The defendants have established a system based on reward and habituation," said the prosecutor at the trial. The children regularly received money and other gifts to make them compliant. Sometimes the little brother of one of the girls was there with the deeds.
A little more than 70 suspects have been identified by name in all of Germany. In May, a first offender - a 27-year-old soldier - was sentenced to ten years in prison and placed in a psychiatric ward for an indefinite period.
In the course of the investigation, errors of the judiciary had also become known : These had led to the fact that the convicted person had the opportunity to abuse children and offer them for abuse for months, despite a voluntary disclosure.
Editor's note: The investigators have now corrected their information. The 30,000 leads don't have to lead to 30,000 suspects. There could be duplicates. Also, not two but six public prosecutors are supposed to start their work in the "task force".
