Former spouse levels numerous allegations against Christina Block during court proceedings
In a shocking turn of events, Stephan Hensel, a German father, and Christina Block, his former partner, find themselves at the centre of a complex child abduction case. The trial, set to continue on September 22, has seen a series of revelations that have left the public in shock.
Hensel and Block shared two children, who were allegedly abducted by employees of an Israeli security company and taken to their mother in Germany. The abduction occurred after a weekend visit in August 2021, when Hensel did not return the children to their mother.
The indictment alleges that Block ordered the abduction of the children on New Year's Eve 2023/24, an accusation she denies. However, it was Christina Block who was granted custody rights of the two youngest children, with the courts confirming that Hensel should have returned them.
The trial has also seen accusations of domestic violence against Hensel. He emphasized in court that the children had experienced such violence with Block in the past. Danish experts have determined that the boy and girl involved in the trial are traumatized due to the alleged domestic violence.
False pedophilia accusations have been made against Hensel, first reported anonymously from London to Germany in the summer of 2023. However, a duffel bag containing a hard drive with numerous files of child pornography was found on Hensel's garage in early October 2023. Photos of injuries that Hensel allegedly sustained during the attack were displayed in the courtroom.
Despite the media being invited to a demonstration at Hensel's house in December 2022, initiated by a psychologist hired by Christina Block and supported by father's associations, they did not attend. A video of the event was later posted on the internet, showing the street name at Hensel's residence and the license plates of the cars parked there.
Hensel claimed that if the children had expressed a desire to return, he would have taken them back. However, it seems that the children never had such an opportunity, as they remain in their mother's custody. The Hamburg Public Prosecutor's Office has initiated a procedure against Christina Block for the suspicion of false accusation and defamation.
The trial promises to be a long and complex one, with both parties presenting their sides of the story. The fate of the two children involved hangs in the balance, as the court attempts to unravel the truth behind the allegations and the abduction.
