“The
alleged murderer of three-year-old Madeleine McCann is a sex offender with multiple criminal records. Christian B. was convicted of sexual abuse of children as a teenager. According to information from SPIEGEL, his criminal record contains a total of 17 entries. Among other things, he was investigated for "driving without a license, bodily injury, aggravated theft and drunkenness in traffic". He is currently serving a prison sentence in the JVA Kiel.
According to an extract from the Federal Central Register, the now 43-year-old B. was on trial for the first time in
Bavaria for "abuse of a child" and "exercess sexual acts in front of a child" in 1994. The Würzburg District Court sentenced the then 17-year-old to a juvenile sentence of two years, of which he served only part.
From Bavaria, the intensive offender moved to the north, traded drugs and committed thefts. In October 2011, the district court in Niebüll, Schleswig-Holstein, sentenced him to a prison sentence of one year and nine months for "trading in narcotics in not insignificant quantities". The sentence was initially suspended for probation. Later, the probation was revoked. B. ended up in prison.
In 2013, according to SPIEGEL research, the serial offender again committed a child. In 2016, the Braunschweig District Court sentenced him to a prison sentence of one year and three months for "sexual abuse of a child in unity with the possession of child pornographic writings". Just one year later, a conviction for assault followed.
The last act for which Christian B. was convicted last December in Braunschweig was a brutal rape in 2005. He committed the act in Portugal in the Algarve. There he had attacked, tied up, beaten and raped a 72-year-old American woman before he disappeared with her money. It took more than ten years until the German could be transferred. A hair at the crime scene eventually provided a DNA proof.
Der mutmaßliche Mörder der seit 2007 verschwundenen Madeleine McCann hat nach SPIEGEL-Recherchen mindestens 17 Einträge im Strafregister. Mehrfach wurde er wegen Kindesmissbrauchs verurteilt.
