Traunstein - A couple who offered children as slaves for sadistic sex via a computer online service walked free yesterday after a German court cleared them of conspiracy to abuse, kidnap and murder.
The presiding judge said prosecutors had not been able to remove doubt over whether Mr Bernd Malitzki and Ms Sabine Pohl-Jovanovic were serious when they offered Czech girls as "young slaves", despite police finding a "torture chamber" in the couple's home. - (Reuter)
