Former Soldier From Atlanta Convicted of Sexually Abusing 2 Minors While Serving in Germany

He faces a mandatory minimum of 30 years for each aggravated sexual abuse conviction and could receive life in prison, prosecutors said.

  • On Friday, a federal jury in the Northern District of Georgia convicted 39-year-old former Army soldier Adam Schlueter of abusing two minors while stationed in Grafenwöhr, Germany from 2009 to 2013.
  • Between 2009 and 2013, Schlueter physically and sexually abused two victims under age 10, including repeated incidents of choking and beating during his military service abroad.
  • Testimony revealed Schlueter pushed one victim through a second-story window at age 8, dangling him above ground. Authorities also said he threatened to "even kill witnesses" who reported his abuse.
  • U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said Schlueter "spent years terrorizing his young victims," and sentencing is scheduled for July 9, where he faces a mandatory minimum of 30 years to life in prison.
  • The FBI Atlanta Field Office investigated the case under Project Safe Childhood, a Department of Justice initiative launched in 2006 to combat sexual exploitation of children through the internet.
