Trucker fathered eight children with stepdaughter
The 48-year-old, identified only as Detlef S, went on trial in the western city of Koblenz, accused of forcing his stepdaughter, now in her late 20s, to bear his children and of brutally abusing his daughter and stepson.
Dressed smartly in a red jacket, blue shirt and colourful tie, Detlef S showed no emotion as the charges were read out and he did not speak.
