Around a year after a nationwide raid against operators of a children's pornography platform in the Darknet with hundreds of thousands of users, five defendants have been responsible for the Mönchengladbach district court since Wednesday.The public prosecutor accuses men between 44 and 63 years of gang public access to children and youth pornographic content.
Between 2019 and 2024, they are said to have been involved in the platform called Alice in Wonderland as moderators or administrators.According to previous information, it is said to have been one of the longest existing platforms in the Darknet, which provided millions of pictures and videos with abuse of children.
According to the indictment, the five defendants for the structure and existence of the platform are said to have been essential.One of her task was to ensure that the users are made unrecognizable in the event of self -made content in order to make later criminal prosecution more difficult.
The defendants are also said to have had children's pornography themselves.In individual cases, the age of the children shown was about a year.Trial days were scheduled for the process until mid -November.
The platform was removed from the network by the authorities in September 2024.In a nationwide large -scale deployment against several accused, more than 1,500 evidence were confiscated, including laptops, computers and cell phones.The large -scale operation was led by the Duisburg police.Six accused were arrested.
According to the information, the size of the platform could hardly be estimated.In the case of an accused, 13.5 terabytes were evaluated, which corresponds to more than three million photos in the event of a usual image size.The investigators estimated that the entire amount of data would be in the petabyte area.
Already in July, a judgment in Lower Saxony was related to the platform.The district court of Oldenburg sentenced a 58-year-old user to two years and ten months in prison.According to the court, he was convicted of possessing and publishing child pornographic content.
