The public prosecutor’s office in Frankfurt has filed charges against a former football coach of SV Wehen Wiesbaden for abuse. The 35-year-old is said to have lured young people into his apartment and drugged them with sleeping pills.
The allegations are serious: Because he is said to have drugged and sexually abused several youth players of SV Wehen Wiesbaden, the public prosecutor’s office in Frankfurt am Main has brought charges against a former football coach. Specifically, the indictment accuses him of rape and sexual assault, among other things, as the authority announced on Friday on request. Further charges are the production of child and youth pornography and dangerous bodily harm.

The 35-year-old is said to have lured five young people between the ages of 14 and 17 and a ten-year-old into his apartment under pretext last October and drugged them with sleeping pills in drinks and chocolate. He is then said to have sexually abused her. According to the indictment, he filmed some of the crimes.
The man is said to have previously contacted the victims under a false identity and feigned a threat. He then offered to help with his real name.
The 35-year-old has been in custody since December. He has not yet commented on the allegations. The prosecutor is investigating whether there are other cases. The Frankfurt Regional Court must now decide whether to allow the charges to be brought before the youth chamber.
