GERMAN DUO CONVICTED OF MAKING SNUFF FILM
GERMAN DUO CONVICTED OF MAKING SNUFF FILM
HAGAN, Germany (Wireless Flash) -- Although "Skeptical Inquirer" magazine is reporting that the snuff film phenomenon is fake, a recent court case in Germany suggests otherwise. Two men were recently sentenced to life imprisonment for committing murder while producing a snuff film -- the first such conviction ever. The men filmed themselves sexually assaulting and torturing a 21-year-old woman for a snuff film they had hoped to sell in America for $16,000. Frankfurt-based prosecutor Job Tillman says there's a ready market for films depicting violence against women and children -- especially in America. Although one of the men is appealing the ruling, the other says he views jail as an opportunity to work on himself and his problems.
