Christina Block faces numerous accusations during the court proceedings - Defendant's Husband Levels Multiple Allegations Against Christina Block in Court Proceedings
In a dramatic turn of events, Stephan Hensel, the ex-husband of Christina Block, testified in court on the tenth day of the trial regarding the abduction of their shared children.
The trial, which took place at the Hamburg Regional Court, has been a subject of intense public interest. Hensel claimed that if the children had expressed a desire to return, he would have brought them back. However, he admitted that he had not returned the children to their mother after a weekend visit in August 2021.
The alleged abduction led to a series of events. The family moved several times due to concerns for Hensel's safety. Despite the Danish police reviewing all the files, they did not find Hensel in them.
Hensel accused Christina Block of domestic violence, which he claimed had traumatized their children. Photos of injuries were presented in court, allegedly sustained by Hensel during an attack by Christina Block. However, Christina Block has previously denied the allegations of violence and claimed that her ex-husband was manipulating the children.
Christina Block lived in Hamburg during the court proceedings. Courts have confirmed that she had custody of the children, and Hensel was required to return them. In a surprising turn, a procedure has been initiated against Christina Block for the suspicion of false accusation and slander regarding the pedophilia allegations.
The pedophilia allegations against Stephan Hensel were first reported anonymously from London to Germany in the summer of 2023. Christina Block later asked the police to investigate these allegations, learned of them in the fall of 2023 from an Israeli security firm. A duffel bag containing child pornography files was found on Hensel's garage in early October 2023. Two dagger-like knives were secured by the police during his arrest.
The case has not been without controversy. A demonstration took place at Hensel's house in December 2022, initiated by a psychologist hired by Christina Block. The criminal investigation initiated in Denmark was later dropped.
Danish experts have confirmed that the children are traumatized due to the alleged domestic violence. The trial continues, with the outcome likely to have significant implications for both parties and the children involved.
