A 72-year-old German pedophile was arrested late Tuesday after an operation by police in the Bulgarian town of Samokov.

The man was arrested after he allegedly circulated nude pictures of local Roma children. Following the photo sessions he rewarded them with chocolates. The German and Bulgarian police were both involved in the operation.

Yavor Kolev, the head of the Bulgarian police department on internet crimes, revealed deatils of the German man’s pedophile scheme; “"pictures of the children were taken by him in his house - the bathroom in the bedroom... he gave the Roma children small rewards... There are also naked pictures of their outings to a nearby river. The photos are dramatic and disgusting.”

It was not made clear how many local children had been abused but Samokov revealed that the children were aged between “a few months old to 7 years.”
