The sickening abuse lasted for more than two years, the Freiburg state court heard this week. A 33-year-old Spanish man who was offered the boy for sex by his mother was found guilty of repeatedly raping him.
The man, whose name wasn’t released for German privacy reasons, was sentenced to ten years in prison and fined €18,000 euros (Sh 2 Million).
He admitted paying the woman and her partner €10,000 euros (Sh 1 Million) to rape the boy multiple times in the town of Staufen in southern Germany.
