    Keine mildernden Umstände
    • Was kann dagegen getan werden, dass Mädchen und Jungen in asiatischen, osteuropäischen und anderen Ländern von Männern aus Westeuropa sexuell ausgebeutet werden? Bislang wenig. Doch in jüngster Zeit macht die internationale Zusammenarbeit bei der Strafverfolgung der Täter grosse Fortschritte — nicht zuletzt dank der Bemühungen von Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen, die auf den Bereich Kinderschutz spezialisiert sind. 16 Geschichten dokumentieren, wie Männer aus der Schweiz, Deutschland, Holland und anderen europäischen Ländern erstmals in ihren Heimatstaaten strafrechtlich verfolgt und verurteilt werden konnten — für Verbrechen die sie an Kindern in Asien und in Osteuropa verübten.
