Madeleine McCann suspect 'seen on videos sexually assaulting woman and girl', court hears

The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann was seen on videos allegedly sexually assaulting an elderly woman and a teenage girl, a court has heard.

Christian B, whose last name is withheld due to privacy laws, is standing trial in Germany accused of three counts of rape and two counts of child sexual abuse.

The prosecution claims the offences took place in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. The allegations do not relate to the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine in 2007.

There are no formal pleas in the German legal system and Christian B's lawyer said the defendant "is using his right to remain silent".
