German Judge and Ukrainian Prosecutor Dismissed Over Pornography

In Germany, a 63‑year‑old judge affiliated with the Social Democratic Party (SPD) was charged after investigators uncovered about 1.7 million child‑pornography files on his personal devices, distributed across dozens of hard drives, data sticks and laptops. The Hanover public prosecutor’s office said the find is among the largest single‑person collections of child‑porn material in Lower Saxony.

In Ukraine, a regional prosecutor in the Chmelnizky district was dismissed after it emerged that he filmed pornographic material at his office, posted the content on OnlyFans and repeatedly sent the links to colleagues. The scandal broke while the Ukrainian parliament debates a proposal to de‑criminalise pornography, a move that has drawn public and political attention.
