Child abuse suspects detained

Czech police have detained two Germans suspected of abusing underage boys and girls from the Klatovy region in the west of the Czech Republic, a spokeswoman told AFP on Wednesday. One of the detained men is a 47-year-old from the Rhineland Palatinate region in western Germany, the other a 60-year-old from Deggendorf in Bavaria. The men gained the children's trust, lured them into a caravan and had sexual relations with them on several different occasions, according to a Klatovy police spokeswoman. Czech and German police have been jointly investigating the cases for several months.
