A 21-year-old man with German-Iranian citizenship has been charged in Germany for allegedly targeting over 30 children and teenagers online, urging them to harm themselves and, in some cases, to take their own lives. Prosecutors claim the suspect, known online as 'the White Tiger,' concealed his identity while building relationships with minors, most of whom were between 11 and 15 years old. Once trust was established, he reportedly pressured victims to self-harm and livestream the acts, resulting in serious injuries for some. The indictment includes a case involving a 13-year-old transgender boy from Seattle, who was allegedly persuaded to end his life on camera. Authorities also allege the accused was part of an international network that encourages self-harm among young people. The suspect faces charges of murder and attempted murder, while his lawyer has denied all allegations.
