I know a 15 year old girl who‘s getting exploited by a 22 year old guy who she met from tinder. I want to report this but i don‘t know if it‘s enough to report or if i have enough info.

I deleted her number so that‘s gone but i know her name, age, she told me where she lives but i forgot and it‘s not berlin, she stays at a jugendamt wg and goes to a clinic for mental health instead of school.

For the abuser, i know his name, age, lives in berlin, his pic, number, nationality and i have an ss from her phone showing that he asked(?) for nudes and made her send a bra pic.

I don‘t know if i should do anything with this or what i can even do so i wanted to post it to get opinions, bear in mind i‘m not from here, my german isn’t the best, would like to stay anonymous and i don‘t know if this post is allowed here.

I would appreciate any help.

  1. I guess this is what’s the Police for 💁‍♂️

  2. You absolutely should report this. What you described is serious child exploitation and illegal. Even if you don’t have all the info, you already have enough to make a report. Contact the police or the local Jugendamt. You can also report anonymously to [https://www.nicht-wegsehen.net](https://www.nicht-wegsehen.net), a platform for reporting child abuse.

  4. Now there are a few things here

    First, yes, that’s a creep grooming an underaged girl with mental health issues. She needs help.

    Second, I am not exactly sure if a picture with a bra only and no face in a non sexual setting might be considered material subject to the relevant paragraphs about pornographic texts of underaged persons, but if it is, you having it would land you in the same amount of hot water as the person asking for it, afaik. They were supposed to fix the whistleblower protection part of the law but I honestly don’t know the state of that process, so check that. Maybe someone can comment.

    Third, if the picture itself wouldn’t be considered pornographic material, the age difference or the age of the people involved itself does not make this a criminal act in Germany unless the guy is in any sort of position of power (guardian, teacher, coach,…) or there is an important public interest in persuection, e.g. the guy is a know abuser with a track record and a prosecutor decides to pursue the case.

    So, if you want to report this, be very *very* careful about revealing what kind of chat material you possess on your devices and I would try contacting the girl or her guardians before contacting authorities.

    IANAL.

  5. Why on fucking earth there is a 15 years old on tinder first of all?
    Does this guy know that she’s 15?
    If yes, disgusting and go to the police. If not, he’s just a creep

  6. Yeah this is fucked up but i hope im wrong and someone corrects me, isn’t the legal age here 14 (which i find crazy) thus making it legal?

  7. How did you get the screenshots?

    What’s she doing on tinder?

    How come you don’t know what city they live in?
