The man, who is 55 years old, had in addition to the films more than 17,000 child pornographic images when he was caught.

The prosecutor claims a serious crime as many of the films and pictures showed children who were particularly young or exploited in "another particularly ruthless way".

According to the lawsuit, the man has confessed to the crime during questioning.

And he is convicted of a serious child pornography offense and faces up to one year in prison - and a maximum of six years.
