Almost done! For the report to be created and for the authorities to reach you, you need to insert your contact information here.

Please be aware: It is possible that the perpetrator will be informed about your identity in the course of the proceedings. In rare cases it can also happen that the perpetrator gets to see your contact information. If you do not want to give your private address for certain reasons, you can first give another address as a c/o address where you can be reached by mail. Please note that you may only enter the address of private persons here if they agree to this. If you do not have this possibility or if you absolutely want to avoid giving information for certain reasons, please seek legal advice or contact our consulting service (German language content).

You understand the following risks

If you have indeed received an unwanted dickpic, the law is on your side. However, it is important to know that filing a criminal complaint is a serious matter that you should not take lightly. Briefly, any criminal case carries the following risks for the person filing the complaint:

1. Risk of a false accusation

   If your statements are true: no problem. If you file a complaint that contains false accusations, this itself constitutes a criminal offense with serious legal consequences. Under Section 164 of the German Criminal Code, a false accusation can be punished by imprisonment of up to five years or a fine.

2. Risk of being identified

   During the investigation, there is a certain probability that the perpetrator will be informed about your identity. If you do not want this under any circumstances, you should seek professional legal advice or get in touch with our consultation (German language content). There is also a procedure for this.

3. Your role as a witness

   During the investigation and, if necessary, during a later trial, the authorities may request you as a witness for the court proceedings. Travel expenses and loss of income are usually reimbursed by the court. Such a subpoena as a witness may be mandatory.

4. Disclaimer

   Dickstinction was co-developed by lawyers to the best of their knowledge. Please understand that this is only a guide for filing a criminal complaint. In principle, you can file a criminal complaint directly with the police or public prosecutor's office in your place of residence without using the form. In some federal states, an online police station is also available for this purpose. The authorities are generally obligated to follow up on tips about criminal offenses and to investigate them. HateAid does not assume any liability for misrepresentations or misrepresentation of the form, as long as they are not based on intent or gross negligence.

5. Cost risk

   There are no costs for you, regardless of the outcome of the criminal proceedings.

That's it. You can now simply hand in the generated document at your nearest police station or drop it in the mailbox. It is great that you are so brave! We believe that consistent prosecution is the only way to solve the problem of digital violence.

What’s next?

1. Once the authorities get your report, they are required by law to investigate.
2. As part of the investigation, the authorities will likely do the following:
   1. The authorities will send a request for information to the platform provider, which will be given the IP address of the offender.
   2. The authorities will send an information request to the internet service provider about the owner of the respective IP address at the time of the crime.
   3. The internet service provider will provide the personal data and address of the offender to the authorities.
