After the world’s largest online platform for exchanging child pornography was broken up in Germany last year, according to investigators, the verdicts in the “Boystown” trial are now known.
The fines at a glance:
The verdicts communicated on Tuesday are not yet final, golem.de reports.
The prosecutor accused the men of building and operating the Darknet forum “Boystown” with more than 400,000 user accounts from around the world. According to the report, the judges spoke of “considerable criminal energy” on the part of the accused. “Files have been exchanged on the platform for years and internationally.”
When the Federal Criminal Investigation Department (BKA) and the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office closed the website, which is accessible via the Tor network, in April 2021, more than one million forum posts could be found there. “The recordings showed some of the most serious forms of sexual violence against children.”
According to the prosecutors of the Central Office for the Fight against Internet Crime (ZIT) at the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office, the investigations are continuing at full speed, a spokesman said.
He hopes that “this verdict sends a signal that no one is really safe on the dark web,” said the lawyer of a 23-year-old victim.
