The case of Lukas R.

The SMS

Before I really started researching this book, I was confronted by a young investigator with his story.

On a cold February afternoon, I was standing in front of my window on the top floor of a somewhat outdated office building. The wind was whistling so strongly that the half-opened blinds rattled. Slowly, the sun began to show itself. It kept peeking through between the fast-moving clouds. I cranked the blinds up so that I could enjoy the view better. I stood facing the sun, my eyes half open. Despite the clouds, the sun was bright enough that I had to keep closing my eyes. I kept thinking to myself how beautiful the view of the hills in front of me was, even though the tower block I was in radiated absolutely no beauty at all. I paused for a moment and enjoyed this moment after the day so far had been more than exciting and intense.

After I had slowly calmed down, I picked up the cell phone of the 17-year-old defendant Lukas R.. The house search and the written interrogation had already been completed and for this reason I wanted to take a look at the cell phone of the accused R. for the further investigation. Nowadays, you can find out everything about a person by looking at their smartphone. I was sitting in my office chair with my cell phone in one hand and a ballpoint pen in the other. I was ready to document the obvious finds. At first glance, the impression Lukas had made on me throughout the morning matched. I found lots of online games, various chats on different channels, but rather few with peers and a hidden folder that could be unlocked with the code we know. This folder contained masses of pornography, including a large number of photos and videos of abusive images of minors. Apparently, most of these images were of boys and girls of Lukas' age, i.e. between 14 and 17, but there were also various files with clearly underage persons (persons under 14 years of age). However, as the evaluation of the seized data carriers only takes place after the data has been secured, I concentrated on the messages. The WhatsApp chats and Lukas' Instagram and Snapchat profiles. They were all inconspicuous, but I realized that Lukas communicated with girls in a very reserved and reserved manner. He mostly talked about superficial topics or communicated about school activities. When I was on the "old-fashioned" text messages, I noticed a message exchange between Lukas and a "Lisa". There was also an "s" next to the name "Lisa". At first I couldn't work out who this "Lisa s" was, but what puzzled me more was the written text content, which didn't match Lukas' impression at all.

Lukas: I'm alone in my room. I'm bored!

Lisa s: Yeah, so? I know, you're next to me.

Lukas: Would you like to?

Lisa s: No, not today.

Lukas: Ageh, come on. I'll do better today.

Lisa s: That's what you said last time.

Lukas: Then we just do it between the cheeks and no more hole.

Lisa s: Oh, well ok. But a little better today.

Lukas: I'm getting ready.

Lisa s: I put the cream in.

I had to read through this message several times to understand exactly what it said. It's basically normal for young people these days to communicate in such an intimate way, although the choice of words was of course not in keeping with the young man's nature. At first, I thought of a girl with whom Lukas had a sexual relationship. But the phrase "Lisa s" kept jumping out at me: "I know, you're next to me". A thousand variations went through my head as to what this could mean. Starting with a possible country school week, sister of a friend with whom Lukas was staying overnight, through to possible neighbors. Suddenly it popped into my head, like a bolt of lightning unexpectedly appearing in the sky and striking the ground. I had a hunch who this "Lisa s" might be, but I wasn't sure. I took my red file folder from the shelf with all the investigations into the case so far and frantically flipped through page after page. I had one goal, to find a specific page. My excitement grew as I had a hunch who this girl was. After a few seconds of frantically flicking through the pages, I found the note I was looking for. It was a sketch of the family tree of the R. family and there it was in black and white. Lukas R. had a 12-year-old half-sister called "Lisa".

I looked at this page, stunned. It must have been several minutes in which I was briefly overwhelmed inside. I kept thinking to myself that I had been 'lucky' again. The first, and probably easier, file I had received from the CID turned into a more intense story. With my cell phone in my hand, I went into the office of my CID manager and looked at her questioningly. I asked her for her opinion and showed her the text messages. She picked up the accused's phone and read through the text. A few seconds later, she handed the cell phone back to me, took off her reading glasses and leaned back. She looked at me and said: "Oh dear, you're going to have a lot to do with this case. You'll have to expand the charges to include aggravated sexual abuse of minors and look into possible further charges of incest." I immediately remembered the words of my counterpart, which she gave me on my first day as a detective: "People who turn up as perpetrators are bad and every case contains surprises that you can't possibly know beforehand." In this case at least, she was right. But before the investigation really got going, I had to get a good overview of the case again so as not to overlook any details. So I started the case all over again and began filing charges against Lukas R.

The Dropbox

At the turn of the year, the time had finally come. I started my new police job, for at least six months, at the local police station in a large city. Many of my colleagues advised me not to take this step because it could be mentally stressful. I ignored these warnings. The process leading up to my new job was long and full of setbacks. I should have filled my new job months before, but higher authorities demonstrably delayed this decision for various reasons. On that first day, I took the elevator to the top of the venerable building, which looked more like a prefabricated building from the Eastern Bloc, and greeted my new colleagues. I was delighted and naturally excited about my new area of work. A short time later, my boss greeted me and gave me my first case, or as they say in the police, "the first act". I couldn't wait to finally get to work on this case, because for me, investigative work is the highest art of police work and the CID is my studio.

Among other things, the CID deals with sexual offenses, where the main area of expertise at the time was "online child abuse", also known colloquially as "child pornography". Almost all files are structured similarly. As soon as NCMEC becomes aware of a new case, it sends it to the national authorities in Germany and Austria. Internally, upstream police institutions carry out the initial investigative steps and forward the file to the CID responsible for the crime scene. This was also the case with my first case®, 17-year-old Lukas R.

The identity of the accused was vague at the beginning. Lukas used the email address to upload the six suspicious abuse images identified by NCMEC. However, the uploads were made to a Dropbox on which a telephone number was stored. After an inquiry, it was at least clear that the owner of the number was not Lukas, but his father Roland R. In this case, you have to choose a side in terms of choosing the main suspect. The trick is to evaluate the uploaded files. There were six files in total, two videos and four photos.

The photos showed underage girls inserting an object into their private parts. The girls were between eight and ten years old.

I estimated the girls in the videos to be around 12-14 years old. These videos also showed a similar situation, i.e. the insertion of an object into the genital area.

In the case of both the photos and the videos, it was clear from the camera angle that these files were apparently produced by the girls themselves, presumably on the basis of an order from another person. In most cases, the clients pay or promise the girls something.

The surroundings of the rooms showed doors and sockets that were more indicative of the American continent. According to information from the upstream authority, all the files were already known, so had been in circulation for some time and had been shared countless times. Due to the age range of the girls in the videos and photos, I assumed that the accused was still "searching" for the right age. I therefore subsequently investigated the juvenile accused Lukas and did not conduct any further investigations into his father.

It is difficult to make a general classification or general statement, as there are far too few scientific results and meaningful studies on the age preference of offenders. In the case of Lukas, the following could be established in advance: The photos and videos found showed that he has a preference for pre-pubescent or girls in puberty. Due to the age range, he is unsure of his exact preferences. This tends to indicate a very young defendant. The data carriers analyzed by IT are then more informative. These show an overall picture of the offender's actual tendencies.

There was still a lot of investigative work to be done to obtain the data carriers. First of all, it was necessary to find out who owned the e-mail address and where it was logged in. Once all the information about the email account had been obtained, the subsequent planning could begin. The Dropbox to which the photos and videos...
