German authorities have arrested a man suspected of sexually abusing children over the past two decades after finding a boy who had been missing for several weeks at his apartment.

Petra Hertwig, a prosecutor in the eastern city of Cottbus, told news agency dpa that the 52-year-old man is suspected of 175 counts of sexual abuse. The cases go back as far as 1994.
