Christian Brueckner faces charges including two counts of rape and two of sexual abuse, with prosecutors advocating for a 15-year prison sentence and preventive detention.
Prosecutor Ute Lindemann emphasized the need for a conviction on the serious sexual offenses against Brueckner, while he currently serves a seven-year sentence for a 2005 rape.
Despite ongoing investigations, Brueckner has not been formally charged in the high-profile case of Madeleine McCann's disappearance, which has drawn international attention.
Brueckner's lawyer articulated expectations for an acquittal as the defense prepares to argue his case, despite the absence of a formal plea process in Germany.
