A 48-year-old German suspected of fathering at least seven children with his stepdaughter is standing trial on allegations he abused her and two other children for more than 20 years and forced two of them into prostitution.
The man, identified only as Detlef S. in line with German privacy rules, went on trial today on charges of sexually abusing minors in his care between 1987 and 2010, and with facilitating sexual acts with minors.
He faces up to 15 years in prison.
The three alleged victims — the man’s daughter, stepdaughter and stepson — have joined the trial as co-plaintiffs as allowed under German law.
German media have reported that Detlef S. was a truck driver who lived with his family in the small town of Fluterschen, near Bonn.
The Guardian newspaper reports that until his arrest, Detlef S lived with his 52-year-old wife in a village in western Germany, along with up to 15 children. Four of the children reportedly came from his wife's first marriage, four belonged to them both and seven were the result of incest.
