The Stuttgart Regional Court has sentenced a former sports trainer to five years and four months in prison for the hundreds of sexual abuse of children, young people and wards.
The court saw the allegations as proven in more than 500 cases, a court spokesman said on Thursday.
He was also convicted of possession of child and youth pornography.
The crimes were committed between 2006 and 2021.
The man came into contact with his victims as a trainer at a sports club in Fellbach.
The fifty-three-year-old admitted the allegations through his lawyer on the first day of the trial at the end of April.
