Aurich in focus: Start 240 new procedures against child pornography!

Aurich, Deutschland - The fight against child and youth pornography is now being tackled in Aurich. From July 2025, the public prosecutor's office Aurich will become the priority prosecutor for violent, pornographic and polluting content. This expects about 240 procedures per month that were not previously looked after by Aurich. This is evident from a report by nwzonline . This step is part of an initiative of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Justice to combat certain crime phenomena.

It looks like, the redistribution of the procedures will not only employ the public prosecutor. The Aurich District Court will also play a central role in the future when it comes to issuing decisions for searches and arrest warrants. Previously, such cases were mainly forwarded to the central office in Hanover, which delayed the processing in the region.

new challenges in Emden

The developments related to child pornography can also be felt in Emden. The case of a client who was affected by the Aurich public prosecutor as part of a house search shows how important a good legal understanding is. There were no actual recordings in this special process, but only drawn and computer -animated representations. As the Kanzlei Odebralski , one tried to convince the public prosecutor that these representations do not fall under the legal regulations. Nevertheless, the public prosecutor raised charges for possession of child pornography - in a total of about 250 cases.

The Emden District Court allowed the charges for the main hearing, but found that only 35 of the accused representations can be considered child pornography in the legal sense. The accused admitted the possession of the pictures, but was not aware of any guilt. In the end, however, he was acquitted, which shows how complicated the legal framework is in such cases.

Support for those affected

A large part of the problem is isolation that many people affected by child pornography. Experts advise you to seek trustworthy people. Recommended contacts are, for example, parents, relatives or school consultants. The organization ncmec offers a contact point. Here support is offered in crisis intervention and local advice centers.

In addition, there is the NcMec team, a volunteer program that connects families with each other that had to go through similar crises. This not only offers a platform for the exchange, but also a feeling of the community for those who often feel alone and overwhelmed.

Overall, these developments show that the judiciary in northern Germany is determined to counter new challenges in the field of child and youth pornography. The close cooperation between the public prosecutor and law firm will play a crucial role in clarifying the legal framework and supporting the victims and their families.
