Finland Puts Man on Trial over Sexual Abuse of 361 Children
Prosecutors say the man used Snapchat to contact children and ask for sexual images, and the trial is expected to last at least 45 hearing days.
- On Monday, a 27-year-old man went on trial in Finland charged with sexually abusing 361 children aged nine to 15 on Snapchat.
- Police discovered thousands of illicit images and videos on the man's phone in 2022 during an unrelated criminal investigation, prompting the December 2025 announcement of this case.
- According to Finnish broadcaster Yle, the man allegedly contacted victims across the country via Snapchat, demanding photos, videos, or sexual acts from the children.
- The National Prosecution Authority charged the man with aggravated sexual abuse of children and aggravated distribution of illicit images, though prosecutors dropped three cases this June.
- With approximately 45 hearing days scheduled, the court expects proceedings to last "at least until the end of this year," according to the court; the man partly admitted to offences during investigation.
