Ex-footballer Metzelder Gets 10-Month Sentence

Former Real Madrid and Germany defender Christoph Metzelder has bagged a suspended prison sentence of ten months for admitting to child pornography charges at a trial in Germany on Thursday.

The high-profile trial was set to run until May 10, but came to an end in just one day after Metzelder admitted to having shared graphic illicit images of minors online.

“I obtained incriminating pictures that were freely available on the internet (and) took screenshots,” Metzelder, 40, told a district court in the western city of Duesseldorf.

“I shared extreme fantasies in chats,” he said from the witness stand, in comments reported by AFP sports subsidiary SID.

Prosecutors say the 2002 World Cup finalist passed on 29 pornographic files to three women via WhatsApp, including one featuring a toddler in a “highly sexualised pose.”

Metzelder, who entered the courtroom in a grey suit jacket and a black coronavirus mask, is yet to personally address the charges against him in public.

He told presiding judge Astrid Stammerjohann that he had been interested in “transgressing limits”, not by the sexual images of children themselves, which in some instances depicted grievous molestation.
