Toldyaso;

A 52-year-old trans-identified male convicted for the possession of sickening child sexual abuse materials has told a court that he viewed the material to assist in the development of his “gender identity.” The man, who has not been named due to Germany’s strict privacy laws, was granted a lenient sentence after a judge accepted his excuse.

News reports have used the false name Jürgen or Beate Kämmerer when referring to the pedophile, who had saved over 70 child and youth pornography files on various devices. Kämmerer appeared before the Hersbruck district court last Monday, where he presented his bizarre reasons for accessing the heinous material.

Kämmerer told the court that he “did not view the pornographic content with pedophilic intent or to satisfy a sexual desire,” reported Nürnberger Nachrichten, but instead to aid in his gender transition. Presiding Judge André Gläßl and the public prosecutor both accepted the reasons given by Kämmerer justifying his possession of child pornography.
