    Adrian V was found guilty of 29 counts of abuse. He will be kept in preventative detention after his sentence is complete due to the risk of reoffending.

    For those, such as I, who are unaware of what preventative detention means:

    It is a non-punitive holding of an individual to prevent further criminal acts. In Germany, it is an indeterminate sentence that follows a regular jail sentence. To assure the suitability of the preventive detention, it has to be reviewed every two years to determine the ongoing threat posed by the individual.

    It has, rightfully, drawn criticism for being counter to human rights progress and had it's share of setbacks, victories, and rewrites.
