Police say a German man engaged in cybergrooming and pressured a US teen to kill himself
BERLIN — A 20-year-old man has been arrested in Germany on suspicion of engaging in an online campaign of cybergrooming and virtual sexual abuse of children, including pressuring a 13-year-old American boy to kill himself and livestream the act, authorities said Wednesday.
The German-Iranian man was arrested Tuesday. The man, whose name was not made public in line with German privacy rules , was taken into custody at his parents' apartment in the northern city of Hamburg. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to bring formal charges. He denied wrongdoing in a closed-doors appearance before a judge, authorities said.
