The four pedophiles posted the horrors on the dark web, while one of their victims was the son of one of their partners.
The “leader” of the perverted men was Adrian V., who “organized” the atrocities.
The court even presented video footage of 30 hours from the heinous acts of pedophiles, much of which had been “uploaded” on the dark web.
The other three men are believed to have met Adrian online.
They are Marco Sch., 35, a computer specialist from Hannover, Tobias Sch., 30, a worker from Hesse, and Enrico L., 42, a nurse from Brandenburg.
For his part, Judge Matthias Pheiler expressed his disgust at the “horrific events”, calling the videotapes “deeply disturbing”.

“The legal process has also clearly shown how pedophiles work: they cheat, lie and manipulate,” he said, adding that the defendants not only “smiled”, but “laughed out loud” when presenting evidence against them.
Pheiler also said he was “relieved” that none of the victims had to testify at the trial.
Adrian V., from Münster, was eventually sentenced to 14 years in prison, while the other three were between 10 and 12 years old.
His mother will spend the next five years in prison for aiding and abetting rape and conspiracy.
Police are now examining whether the case is related to a wider pedophile network in the country, but also abroad, having already identified 50 suspects, 30 of whom are being held.
