In the Staufen abuse case that caught the public’s attention after the takedown of the darkweb chatroom Tabooless Chat and the darkweb child abuse forum Elysium, the court ruled that the Youth Welfare Office shared some of the blame due to a systematic failure to prevent the offender from living with his victim.
The “stepfather” of the sexually assaulted nine-year-old boy played the long game in the Staufen child abuse case that made mainstream headlines after German police ended Tabooless Chat—a darknet chatroom used by many of the offenders.
After being sentenced for his role in the abuse of a nine-year-old boy in the Schleswig-Holsteiner abuse case, the 44-year-old defendant has appealed his eight-year prison sentence.
A few weeks ago, before the site went down and lost pictures, I wrote about the Tabooless member Christian L. who had turned into an informant for German authorities. Well, L. is at it again: the 44-year-old Tabooless member from Schleswig-Holstein, according to L., had initially reached out to pedophiles on the darknet and asked if he could murder the child.
According to the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), infants and toddlers are increasingly becoming victims of child abuse—at least on videos found on the darknet child abuse forum “Elysium.”
During an ongoing legal battle between the courts and the eight alleged child abusers in the Staufen abuse case, one suspect felt motivated to inform on the other alleged child abusers. This information, to the police’s surprise, connected several members of the recently seized darknet chat site “Tabooless” or “Tabooless Chat.”
During the recent sentencing of the Tabooless administrator, investigators detailed the steps taken during the investigation. According to two investigators, they caught the 50-year-old through what non-technical readers would refer to as “catfishing.” Long story short, they posed as a woman who seduced the admin, slowly chipping away at his anonymity.
