Berlin: A mother and stepfather charged with selling their young boy online for sex went on trial in Germany on Monday, in a case that police say is one of the most atrocious they have investigated.
Berrin T., 48, and Christian L., 39, also stand accused of rape, aggravated sexual assault of children, forced prostitution and distribution of child pornography.
They are accused of having sexually assaulted the boy -- who is now nine -- as well as pimping him on the so-called darknet for more than two years.
The stepfather has a previous conviction for paedophilia.
Two of those arrested have since been convicted.
He also made serious accusations against the boy's mother, who has so far been silent in court.
