A German investigator looking into sexual abuse case in Germany’s Lugde discovers a police officer who has a criminal record for child pornography is still on duty
The latest incident involving a police officer is what many deemed negligence by the German authorities – following an array of scandals erupting one after another related to the Lugde case.
The police officer in question was found guilty of possessing and procuring child pornography in 2011, according to a report published in, a German media outlet, which cited the North Rhine-Westphalian Interior Ministry. Ministry spokesperson confirmed that the officer remained on duty but added that the officer in question had no links to the Ludge case.
Three suspects were detained as part of the investigation into widespread child exploitation who were accused of perpetrating 1,000 individual offences against children. In a bid to alleviate the tensions, the minister said that the suspects could still be convicted despite the missing evidence., after it became public that the police officer in Lippe committed the crime he was convicted of, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia issued an order to investigate further sexual offences within the state institutions.
The ministry reportedly instructed the authorities in the district of Lippe "to take into account officers’ background" before assigning them for a specific task.
