Thuringia: Investigations into alleged sexual abuse

Erfurt (dpa/th) - The public prosecutor's office has expanded its investigation into alleged sexual abuse at a daycare center in Erfurt. A spokesman for the Erfurt public prosecutor's office said on Friday that a case had been filed against a young intern who had previously been prosecuted. It is a violation of the duty of care and upbringing. The spokesman did not say who the ad was aimed at. The MDR had previously reported.

According to the MDR report, the 17-year-old intern is suspected of having sexually abused several children. Accordingly, it is about half a dozen cases. He has completed a voluntary social year at the day care center since September. The incidents became known in early May. According to the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office, this is an initial suspicion that must now be clarified.
